3-MK papers with a sheen? or 3-PKN?

2008-01-14 by espen.aasheim

Hi.

I'm using the r1800 with 3-mk, and have only tried Delta Matt Fibre 
from Permajet yet, and have just been printing for about a month so
I'm very much a beginner... I'm quite happy with it at 13x19 prints,
where pure black has a nice appearance at regular viewing distance,
but I'd like a bit more depth in the blacks, although I don't want 
to go as far as glossy paper, I figure just a slight sheen to the 
surface would give me the desired look to the print..

So, my question is; do you guys have a suggestion to a paper I might
try which has a slight sheen, or blacker blacks than the Permajet 
paper, while staying with the pure eboni inkset? 

I am prepared change to 3-pkn, but I wanted to hear with you all if
there was a possibility to get it right with the pure eboni inks, as 
I figure I'm not far off as it is...


ps: I've not yet gotten the hang of the term D-Max.

thanks.
