QTR-Quadtone RIP

Dian at Hawk Mountain reminded me she had sent me some papers when I was
looking at the non-OBA ones available.

I had tested those and rather  forgotten them in the pile.

I tried (tested implies a level of rigour that probably isn't there...)
their Condor Natural - I found it to be closer to the Innova Soft Textured
Art - but somewhat less texture, and perhaps not quite as sharp or quite as
much DMax

On the other side, it was a little bit above Premier Art Hot Pressed, which
to me seems to have a lower DMax and be a bit softer in look overall (and
with a warmer paper base than the Condor Natural

It's certainly a nice paper and stand with some pros and cons among a group
of other papers. It just wasn't quite the standout (with my printing anyway)
that the Arches and the Red River were (with the caveat about the "slight"
OBA's in the Red River).

BTW - all this is on an Epson 2200 using QTR but with the Epson Black
replaced by MIS Ebony (all the rest are Epson UC inks)
