[Digital BW] Re: Canson Baryta Photographique and other F type papers.

2010-01-30 by tboleyyh

I have to admit I've gone through so little of it I don't have a history. Only two jobs ever, and my own testing and samples.
But, I have noticed that the job I'm working on right now, one of those precious two, does seem to have a more persistent curl from the current roll. I seem to remember the prints relaxing out, and these have yet to change much.
Is that what you are experiencing?

Lots of matte here, some HPR Baryta, Silver Rag not so much.

I contacted Dave at Crane and he never admits or denies that something changed, but they are working on something (classic answer). Almost impossible to use. Reminds me of those snappy clip metal things that use to come with Epson printers to keep stored rolls from unrolling :)

For a warmer base Silver Rag, after all these new papers have come along, still outperforms, and the Cone Type 5 looks great too.

If you have an HP with GO like John, or spray like the Baryta Photographique reviewer, perhaps those differences would diminish.
