Ilford Gold Fibre ink limits - wow

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.
