I had 7 glossy / luster papers and wanted to see the bronzing effect on each. I printed out the Quadtone Rip Ink Separation Test Page on each which shows 21 steps of increasing ink densities. I've let the papers dry for 3 days and visually viewed at an angle under an Ott-Lite which is supposed to be 5000-5500 degree Kelvin. While somewhat subjective there are some clear differences with the Epson Luster being the worst re bronzing. I now see why so many posts here regarding the amount of Gloss and or spray required to reduce the bronzing on the PK ink for glossy/luster papers on the R800 / R1800 printers and especially the Epson Luster. All were printed 2880, uni-directional, and adaptive-hybird on my R1800. I looked at each printed paper and the % where I thought the PK ink was not "bronzing." was noted. Imation Photo Jet None (maybe 5) Ilford Classic Pearl (Black Box) 20/25 Ilford Smooth Pearl (Red Box) 25/30 Harman Gloss FB AL 25/30 Ilford Gold Fiber Silk 35/40 Innova Fibra Print 40/45 Epson Ultra Premium Luster 45/50 (when observed right after printing it was 60/65) Does anyone have any data on other papers? I'd be interested in the Harman Crystaljet Luster RC paper. Comments appreciated. Terry
