Re: F-Type paper comparison

2007-11-28 by Eric Chan

Of these I've tried the Harman Gloss FB Al, Epson Exhibition Fiber,
and Innova Ultra Smooth Gloss. I've also seen Silver Rag (but haven't
tested it myself). My testing is done on my Epson 3800 using the K3
inks, with my own custom profiles for the ABW driver (as well as
separate profiles for RGB color, of course).

I hope to try the Hahnemuehle soon.

EEF is very similar to Innova USG, but with a thicker base. Despite
the higher (initial) price of EEF, I'd go with EEF since every single
sheet of every Innova paper I've ever tried (and I've tried about all
of them) has had something wrong with it (ding, scuff, dent, blemish,
you name it). i.e., quality control problems

My EEF and HG brief comparison report is here:

Just FYI.
