If they require you to destroy your image in this way, the best advice is to cancel your participation.

Subject: [Digital BW] Mounting methods ... adhesiveI need to mount a print on what I call beaverboard ... the brown brittle particle board stuff. This is a competition requirement. My question is what's the best way to go? Dry mount, spray adhesive, etc ... It's an rc print so I can't heat it too much.

That doesn't help, David. They are nice people & have a way to go. It's just an rc proof of something I've properly printed and framed before.

I’ve been looking for a reasonably simple way back into B+W inkjet printing. Based on my unscientific sense of how dye and pigment inks look on papers, I decided to go with a dye-ink printer. Okay, they will not last 200 years, but neither will I. After exchanging emails with Paul Roark, I bought a Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer, which runs a 3k dye-based inkset that is supposed to have better longevity. My initial experiences were not good — my prints all had a significant purple cast. In desperation I called Canon tech support. They are saints. Within 10 minutes I was printing gorgeous B+W prints. My mistake (I blame the installation instructions) was that I connected the printer wirelessly to my Mac using the AirPrint/Bonjour communications protocol, whereas I should have chosen the “Canon IJ” protocol when setting it up. My bad. Now that I know how to make it work, the B+W prints out of this machine are just spectacular. For the past week I’ve been printing onto two papers, Ilford Prestige Gold Mono Silk and Canson Platine Fibre Rag. For most prints I am preferring the Canson but the Ilford paper is lovely as well. I have a sampler pack of Hahnemuhle papers but I’m so pleased with the Canson and Ilford papers that I might not get around to testing the Hahnemuhle paper for a very long time. I don’t have other recent inkjet prints to use as comparisons, but the Pixma-100 prints on the Ilford and Canson papers hold their own next to my darkroom prints on Adox MCC-110 baryta paper. If any other list members are printing with the Pro-100, I am eager to hear of your experiences with B+W printing, and which papers are (or aren’t) working for you.

I have the Pro-1 and it produces great B&W too. I was able to use chart-throb and create a curve for Epson Cold Press Bright and the prints look as good (or better) than when I was using an Epson 1400 with MIS K6. Mike J.

I would say the quality of the profiles is going to be a major factor.
Have you tried an metallic paper yet? For high impact, I am rather fond of the Red River Polar Pearl Metallic. You might want to check out this:

Paul, and the list:
I am coming to realize I cannot judge a print based on how it looks out of the Pixma Pro-100. Prints can have a color-cast when printed, only to look neutral after a couple of hours. And prints that look muddy straight from the machine brighten up as they dry.
Is this common with dye-based inksets and prints? (I am using Canson Platine Fibre Rag with Canson’s profile if that matters.) If so, then how do you accommodate this in your workflow?
Also, if it matters, I am using the Canon print software, Print Studio Pro, to control the printer and the inkset. I’ve found it really easy to use and it has some impressive proofing capabilities built into it. I assume that the drydown changes I am seeing are endemic to dye inks, independent of software, but please tell me if I am mistaken.
Regards,
Sanders

Re: Mounting Methods - adhesive 2 of you wrote 3 messages, entitled: 1a , 2a, and 3a- Mounting Methods, on May 8. However, your subject titles, which would be interesting, certainly to me, and I'd wager, a bunch of others on this list, continue to talk about different computers and drivers. And this type of things happen often on this list -- about wrongly labeled posts -- Is there nobody around who pays attention any more? Perhaps it's time to escape from this group, which would be sad, because over the years, it's been very helpful for a lot of useful information to a lot of people! clayton price NYC
