Canson Infinity Rag Photographique

2010-02-23 by Ernst Dinkla

While the Canon Baryta gets a lot of attention I think the Canson 
Infinity Rag Photographique 310 -210 gsm, is the real jewel in the crown.
Measuring many paper whites these days it is the one that shows no OBA 
but exceptionally high reflectance in an uniform spectral curve.
To my eyes in 5000K light it is equivalent to Photorag that has OBAs, 
possibly even a bit whiter. In 3200K halogen it is warmer than HPR.  If 
I compare the spectral curve to Moab Entrada Natural White as shown on 
Laszlo's page I guess it is whiter than that paper too. I do not have 
that Moab paper to measure. With spectral measurements on the front and 
the back I see no OBA and parallel curves throughout which indicates a 
very clean base and a rich application of good whitening agents.

So far I have not printed anything on it but any reasonable Dmax must 
create a wide dynamic range on that matt paper.

Anyone who uses it already?
