Re: [Digital BW] Ilford Gold Fibre Silk - Surface?

2008-01-05 by Tyler Boley

No problems here but every since we had to adjust to the flaking
problem when we started using inkjets I've handled any ink print much
more carefully than any traditional print. 
This paper does need some dry time though.
I'm still extremely enthusiatic about this paper though, for a "photo"
paper.
I've been testing and profiling a number of these new paper here the
last several weeks and this one still comes out on top for my tastes.
The new Epson really does seem to be the Innova as reported, the color
measures the same, the profles, the gloss differential is identical,
other than a bit more thickness they are exactly the same. The Harman
was just a bit too RC looking for me, and the new Hahnamule baryta,
while really impressive from an image presentation standoint, just has
too much texture.
And they all still have gloss differential off an Epson.
Anyway, you do have to treat these prints with care.
