Re: [Digital BW] Re: grainy appearance on watercolor papers

2013-07-13 by Paul Roark

The yellowing is probably due to OBAs fading, not the fact that the paper
was a coated paper.  http://www.aardenburg-imaging.com/ has lots of data on
various paper white color changes.  Some papers with OBAs do OK.  Natural
paper bleaches.  I favor Epson Hot Press Natural, a non-OBA paper that does
bleach a fair amount, but that really does not bother me much.  (BTW,
please make a donation to http://www.aardenburg-imaging.com/)

You seem to be going the QTR route.  Good.  You need a RIP to properly
print on Arches.

How to load QTR (on a Mac, it sounds like) and get a 3880 supported will
need feedback from those users.  You may want to do a quick search on
