Proof paper for use with gloss fiber papers

Proof paper for use with gloss fiber papers

2008-02-11 by wwodets

There was a question recently on the forum about what proof papers 
people were using with the new gloss papers, but I don't think there 
were any responses.  I've tried a few and found something quite good 
for proofing Harman Gloss.  This is Canon "Gloss Photographic Paper 190 
gsm."  (Be careful because they have others with very similar names.)  
It's a good image, a dmax of 2.2 (vs. 2.4 for the Harman) and a has a 
very predictive image for the Harman.  I am using all, including the 
proof paper, with QTR ICC profiling.  The paper is about 50 cents a 13 
x 19 sheet in boxes of 100.

On a related note for those in the S.F. Bay Area, now that I have moved 
to PK and the Harman paper, I have a large stock of unopened VFA (13 x 
19 and 17 x 22) and Epson Ultra Smooth (13 x 19) for sale if anyone is 
interested.  Good prices.  Please email me at odets[at]comcast.net.
