Test report: UT-R2/R220 on Ilford Smooth Heavyweight Matte ¨Paper

Test report: UT-R2/R220 on Ilford Smooth Heavyweight Matte ¨Paper

2006-04-02 by timeexposure

I've made an ICC using Paul's procedure for this double sided paper, 
nice for photo books:

Results are good (Very bright paper)... but there are light marks in 
the dark areas, just has if there were too much ink.

I tried with Matte-Heavyweight and Inket Photo Paper, Ilford recommends 
Archival Matte... which doesn't exist on R22O.


Too good to be true! Low price, double sided, nice pics (except this 
pb) more punchy than EEM... but the result in the blacks is 
unacceptable.

If someone has a trick to reduce the ink load...

Try "Photo Quality Ink Jet Paper" (reduces load substantially) and "Ultra
Premium Glossy Photo Paper" (works very well on some matte papers).

I tried Premium Glossy, Ultra Glossy, in fact all paper types with 
photo quality option, and that's the same.

And if you look at MIS site, they say somewhere it doesn't work on 
Ilford papers. Too good to be true.

I'm back to glossy, my next try will be Ilford Printasia.
