2 Photo Rags & German Etching

2 Photo Rags & German Etching

2003-08-22 by lovelipp

I just tried samples of Photo Rag to test against German Etching 
which I've been using. The PR 188 produced a slightly darker black & 
sharper contrast than the GE, but the Photo Rag 308 was washed out 
and gray - unacceptable.Anybody know why? 
                Thanks, Arlene

I've found 188 and 308 to be basically identical (and mainly use 308) - are
you sure you printed the right side....?

Arlene, 

Sounds like you printed on the back side. Try printing it again on 
the other side and you will find similar results as the 188gsm.
