A little follow up.
After reading Claytons' response I'd have to agree
about the Merlin smooth paper. Very long tonal scale
that at first glance reminded me of my first Paladium
prints in tonal range and print color. But then I was
thinking, and this goes for all the prints.....
I have no idea if a profile or a HM profile or PR
profile make any difference in BO printing. I did all
my prints in "watercolor paper" setting as suggested
by HM. I had found trying some other things that the
watercolor setting prints with less contrast than
printing any paper as EEM. So all of my HM tests
should be contrastier or at least deeper blacks by
using the EEM setting instead of watercolor.
The HM papers don't seem to use optical brighteners
that I think, not sure fade away and leave the print
warmer and/or darker. Well less white any way.
Are the 2 PR papers, 300gm and the lighter one (can't
remember the weight) the same? Somewhere and maybe
it was a site that listed all the PR papers specs that
the lighter PR has a brightener that isn't mentioned
in the 300gm specs. Anyone know if this is right?
My prints on the light PR looked very much like EEM as
far as brightness goes but the prints on the 300gm
paper seem definently less white than EEM.
I'm soon to get a print order from a friends wedding I
shot in 11/03. I'm doing 2 more friends weddings this
summer.
Betweem PR and HM papers I just want a nice bright
white paper, or I should say a paper with a nice clean
white that stays that way.
