I have recently converted my 4000 to NK7. Among the papers I have been working with is Premier Platinum Luster. While you can use this paper with Photo Black you get far superior results with Matte Black. The best results I got were with the HPR Satin curve and with a photoshop curve to lighten both highlights and shadows slightly. I measure with a 4870 Epson scanner and got a lab reading of 4.5 with this curve. The Innova Photo Smooth curve gives an even denser black but the mid values are somewhat off. I have seen unfavorable comments about the surface of this paper but my 5 sheet sample set had no obvious imperfections. The paper is distinctly warm and the NK7 prints on the slightly warm side. You must spray to eliminate the initial bronzing. I think that Jon Cone should add a curve for this paper in QTR. --- In QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com, "Terry Ritz" <t.ritz@...> wrote: > > Correct, K7 inks will not work on gloss media.
