Digital BW, The Print

Hi all;

Has anyone done Dmax (with and without spray, hopefully) and Lab value 
readings on the new Innova semmi-matte?

Thanks

Steve Karafyllakis

Hi Steve... here are density readings for Innova SemiMatte, without
spray, printed with ABW on a 2400 printer loaded with Epson K3 inks,
except an MIS EZWarm in the Y slot.  These are average readings using
Roy Harrington's 21x4 Random stepwedge.

Density for 3 different ABW settings = 2.28, 2.30 and 2.34

Hi Ed, Thanks. Looks about average... what is the 'B' reading, how 
white is the base color?

Should note that the readings were made using a UV filtered Pulse  
Spectrophotometer.  The Lab b reading would probably be quite  
different without the UV filtration because there are OBAs in this  
paper.

My Eye-One does not have a UV-Cut filter on it.  My B reading for
paper white is about -4.7ish.  Ordinarily I don't like a blue-white
paper but this one has pleasant qualities and seems closer to the
silver-gelatin paradigm than the Innova F-type glossy does.

Steve,

I don't have the numbers with me, but I have been getting something in 
the low 2.3s with 3800 and ABW.  Have not sprayed and use a 
densitometer, so no lab values.
