Uncoated Rag papers

Uncoated Rag papers

2004-07-06 by Richard Smallfield

Hello,
I just bought some Arches Aquarelle Hot Press and a couple of other rag papers of varying textures to see what results I can get with them. (I have a 1200.)

A friend did some amazing BO prints on Watman. Very little fine detail, but a lovely painterly effect.

I wondered if anyone could tell me what would be the best way to approach printing on such papers - I take it the dot gain would have to be adjusted, for instance, due to the increased spread of ink per dot.

Any thoughts would be appreciated,
Richard
