Ilford Gold Fibre ink limits - wow
2008-02-10 by mrmrking
I am testing IGSF on a 7880 and I am finding it can hold a lot more ink than other papers I have tested. With ABW 'normal', even at +50% color density (ink limit), its still holding up without blotching or reversing density, giving a dmax of 2.75 (using PSGPP paper setting). The L* curve is flattening out as dmax is approached, so in real world use I'll pull it back to maybe +20% or so and settle for dmax of 2.5/2.6 to allow for use of the tonal range. So based on my experience so far, if you are using this paper and profiling yourself, don't hesitate to try winding up the ink limits. Mike
