> This afternoon I received a new box of Kayenta. This evening I was

> with other papers.
>
> I was dismayed to find that it has changed enormously, to where it's
> really not the same paper. Two things,
>
> 1) The ink color has warmed from (on my Paper Chase scale) B1 to B2.8,
> with a chocolate brown color. IOW, it is no longer a cold paper.
>
> 2) Density has increased. My original batch had nearly identical
> contrast and density to EEM. I could work up an image and send it to
> Kayenta without any adjustment. Now it prints dark and requires a
> lightening curve.

> Paper color, dmax and contrast seems to be much the same.

> production variation then it speaks poorly of their quality control.
> I've seen variations before, but they were mostly in density or
> contrast. I've never seen a color shift of this magnitude. It's a
> completely different paper.
