Re: SemiGloss & Luster Papers

2007-01-28 by Andrew Unger

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.
