Luster Rag, Rag Satin and Silver Rag

Luster Rag, Rag Satin and Silver Rag

2005-11-24 by joaskild

Has anybady compared thise 3 paperes, Premier Luster Rag, Hahnem�hle Photo Rag Satin and 
Crane Silver Rag. 

I am using Hahnem�hle Photo Rag Satin and its a very beutifull paper with high dmax but its 
just a bit too textured and I a woundering how the 2 otheres are compared to Hahnem�hle 
Photo Rag Satin. Also one need to couat this paper with some coating as there are a brovnish 
shine otherwice to the mat reflection. I am interested in the feel of the cotten paper but I 
would like the high Dmax wich one gets otherwice from the coated plastic paperes. 

I would like to bay thise otheres paperes but haven�t found a resellers in Europa or near 
Finland! Does anybady how sell Premier Luster Rag and Crane Silver Rag in Europa?

Greatings,

Crane's Silver Rag hasn't been relaesed yet.

And, in case you're not aware, the Silver Rag (100% cotton) is 
a "glossy" paper that uses PK (photo black). That's what excites me. 
opefully, it'll look like traditional air dried glossy fibre-based 
paper.

Reports I've read on these groups about the Silver Rag sound really 
promising.

Supposedly, Crane is going to send samples to me, I just don't know 
when: Soon, I hope!

Thanks for the info on Cranes Silver Reg. I shall wait for it too! To bad that it is so 
diffecould to find Cranes paperes in Europa.

With the Photo Rag Satin I use mat ink in my R1800 but I give it and after lack with R1800 
gloss lack with out any picture printed just to take away the brouncing. It looks to me like 
the Dmax is alot higher than Hanemüle photo rag or any of epsons rag paperes. I am 
dreaming aswell of the fell and dmax of traditional air dried glossy fibre-based paper.

I am testing in the next month diffent coatings and have ordered ClearShields Mat and 
gloss and Satin coatings to see if I can find someting between mat and glossy with a feel 
of real paper. 

It sounds like Premier Luster Rag is not so good as I had hoped but still I like to test it!

Would love to hear about your impressions when you have tested the Crane's Silver Rag!

Kind regarts
