Re: [Digital BW] Re: K7 gloss samples

Yes it was posted earlier - its here

For me the most interesting exercise was to see how close I could get to the
Selenium MPS look on IGFS using Epson ABW, to assess from a tonal
perspective if I should bother with MPS.
IMHO I got very very close, certainly close enough that I am not going to
load up MPS. However I am experimenting with a GLOP overprint on a 2nd
printer to reduce gloss differential, still early days.

As a side note IGFS is a spectacular paper, without doubt the best PK paper
around at the moment.
Its very sharp, great tones, pretty much dead neutral base colour,
inexpensive comes in sheets and rolls.
Most people say it has a warm look, and it does against all those papers
loaded with OBAs. But if you look at its spectro colour its pretty much dead
neutral.
