Digital BW, The Print

Richard and Jim,

Well, this am I printed on the PremierArt Fine Art 205 (apparently was previously called PremierArt Smooth Hot Press Fine Art 205) and looked at it side by side with the PremieArt Alise Museum Grade Natural White 260) and I couldn't see much difference. Actually I preferred the former, there was better shadow detail but the blacks seemed just as black. There were some very tiny white specks in the Alise perhaps I should've dusted it off first with my drafting brush. Also I was using the PremierArt Fine Art 305 profile for the Alise, Paul said that was the closes match. Maybe with some tweaking of the profile there might have been better shadow detail. Finally, the PremierArt Fine Art 205 was a lot easier to load.

Hope this is helpful,

Paul
