using lustre paper with MK3 inks and R1800
2008-09-29 by Frank K
hello all, I have been away from printing for a few months and searched the archives but found nothing. How can I use lustre papers with the MK3 inks and the R1800. I think I remember someone telling me months ago to put the GLOP back in, but wouldn't that make the MK3 inks, MK2 inks and affect the overall print? I used to like wet darkroom fiber based matte papes but I do'nt like how the matte inkjet papers tend to soften the details. I prefer using lustre papers which look good but smudge when I touch them. Also I noticed my over all tonal quality is better using the lustre papers..the blacks are jet black, the whites hold detail and paper white is still paper white, but those darn grays are muddy looking with the matte paper. Any help will be appreciated. thanks Frank in NJ
