Digital BW, The Print

Has anyone tried InkjetArt's Illuminata Photo Cotton? The price on 
this paper is very attractive -- $28.50 for 25 11x17 sheets -- so I'm 
surprised I haven't read anything about it on this list. I may order 
a box today, but I thought I'd check the list to see if anyone has 
seen excessive flaking or other problems/deficiencies with the paper.

I use the cool tone with QTR and small gamut profiles and just love 
it  -- especially for the price.  It's also great for color.

Hi Steve.
How did the prints do in moving from daylight to incandescent? Were
there significant tonal (color) shifts vis-a-vis cyan/red?

Thanks
Duane

The color shifts would be my question too. I did a bunch of prints on 
it one time to bring to relatives in mexico, and the day we left, i was 
walking thru the garage, and i  could see the color changing very 
obviously. So obviously that anyone would marvel at it. Except that is 
not very good in a mono print. Other than that they were pretty ok, but 
not as good as photo rag or many other papers. Great price though.

Hi Duane, 
With the Eric Bullock's small gamut profiles, yes, there is a slight 
shift in the highlights going from daylight to tungsten light (Their 
balanced at 5000K I believe...), but it is minimal. I actually prefer 
the small gamut profile to QTR for this paper.  
For QTR w/ matte papers I much prefer Hahn photo rag and the 
Moab's...  My favorite paper w/ QTR is still semi-matte w/ a liberal 
dose of Printshield.
