Holy Grail Writer Follow-up
2005-10-12 by davedoughman
Many thanks for the outstanding replies on my Holy Grail request for help. So far - I have tried Clayton Jones Epson 2400 recommendations using each of his "A" list papers (except PhotoRag 308). All the papers looked very similiar with the image I was using (a B&W converted image I took in Lower Antelope Canyon) very minor differences only noticeable with close side by side comparison - Except that Hawk Mountain Merlin Brightwhite produced cleaner/less warm grays - more neutral grays under incandescentlight. Too early to tell if its the light, the paper or the image as this is my first test. I can remember my steep learning curve as I started printing color, frustrated with what I saw then learned about color profileing, better papers and printers, etc. Guess I'm now on my B&W learning curve thanks to this group and your excellent help Anyone out there in Saint George, Utah area that would like to get together and compare B&W printing method samples? Its all interesting theory until you have an actual print in hand! Thanks again Dave
