Re: [Digital BW] Portfolio Rag redux

2008-04-13 by Walker Blackwell

The first time I tried PR on Quadtone it was crappy. I got a pre-roll  
from Crane to test out. dMax was way down. The paper still doesn't  
work very well with Cone K ink but it works exceptionally with Epson  
MK now. No sheening with correct limiting and a deeper dMax than  
Hahnemuhle Photo Rag (at times.)  I still say Crane needs to make a PR  
surface that can take more ink. And they need to make their PR paper  
less brittle and easier to bend. It's too tough! That's the main turn- 
off for my clients for some reason.

all the best,
Walker

ps: I'm posting like this because I'm sick in bed and stuck to my  
printer for a week profiling Innova.
