[Digital BW] FINALLY figured out the Hahnemuhle German Etching paper

Jamie, You asked, among other things: >Can someone give me a good comparison between the characteristics of >Hahnemuhle German Etching and PhotoRag? >Do they both exhibit the same density of black? ... With MIS VM and a 1290 I get an X-Rite black (100% test strip patch) density readings of 1.68 with EAM, 1.65 with German Etching, and 1.75 with PhotoRag. The German Etching has more texture than the PhotoRag and is warmer. The PhotoRag looks brighter under florescent light, even though the X-Rite gives them both the same visual density reading. I'd guess the German Etching has less, if any, brighteners. Paul http://www.PaulRoark.com
