Re: Increasing DMax on RR Fine Art White Paper

2012-05-17 by chen.benedict

I printed with the natual version and similar problems.

ink limit is at 65% max with black boost to 85.

Mid tone ink limit around 80 -70

Once calibrated its about dmax 1.55 ish

On Eboni-5 less the LC position.My 1400 was a lemon.

I don't get the punch either. When I softproof my files. its very low contrast so I had to raise blacks push white and exposure.  

It look almost like Argyrotype less the warmth

Depending on subject matter its fine like drawing  or overly sentimental 

Works and doesn't work.
