RE: [Digital BW] Re: Atlex sale - Exhibition Fiber

Tyler, I purchased some of the Exhibition Fiber and it looks good using K3. The only issue seems to be in signing the print as pencil is not working. What are you or others using to sign this paper or other glossy papers? Thanks, Gary Wagner

We knew from many little birdies when it first came out that it was rebranded Innova FibaPrint Ultra Smooth Gloss, made for Epson on a slightly thicker base. Since many of us had actually done a lot of testing on that paper previoulsy, the introduction of the Epson version did not creata much new additional buzz or user reviews. So you might search the various lists for comments on the Innova. Obviously it is a PK paper, and will require an ink set up that works well on gloss, however that is done- UCK3pk, HP, perhaps the Claria inks, etc.. for 3rd party mono inks others here would have to comment. When I made cheap sample sets on a Selenium MPS K7 set for people to see, one of the two papers was the Innova version, and I thought it worked well, the high OBA level tamed back the rosy ink hue a bit, and the surface was nice. I made color profiles of both the Epson, and the Innova, and they really were identical in technical performance and appearance, within instrument margin of error. Subjectively, for me, other than the nice combo with the Selenium MPS set, it was generally too blue, with an obvious high OBA content, for my taste. In every other way though, it performs extremely well, and has a likable photo surface. Hope that helps, Tyler http://www.custom-digital.com/ --- [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
