Digital BW, The Print

Hello Paul,

>I'm a little puzzled, perhaps there's something I'm not getting here. When I look at your Great Paper Chase, I see this Premier Art 325 paper already reviewed. Are you reviewing now for perhaps different reasons? 

Yes I am, sorry for the confusion.  The 325 is listed in the Eboni chart, the 270 is in the K3 chart.  Those have both been there for several years, done at different times.  The 325 I'm testing now, at Paul Roark's recommendation, seems to be different (several paper makers that I'm aware of have been revising their coatings over the recent years, but I haven't been a regular user of PA papers so I haven't kept up with any changes they may have made).  So I'm thinking they may have changed something.  One web site which sells it lists it as "new".  Once I get the Dmax measured on my friend's meter, and other measurements, I'll make a determination and may revise the old listings.  I don't know for sure yet.


>Also, would it be possible to take a look at the same paper in the 205 weight? 

I'm assuming the Dmax and ink/paper color measurements would be the same for all versions, only differing in thickness and number of coated sides.  They make 6 different versions (200,205-c2s,270,300,325-c2s,500), so it wouldn't be practical to test them all.  I chose the 325 because it's the thicker 2-sided version and is the one I wanted for my own use.

I hope this clarifies it.


Regards,
Clayton
