brightcube sem matte

2002-04-30 by JULIANTHOMAS

I got my pack of Bright cube semi matte yesterday. I managed to edo 
some quick tests last night, but my spray can ran out... so... initial 
thoughts... (bear in mind this is subjective - I´ve not measured 
anything nor had time to compare step wedges)

Pros.
Print quality - the smoothest tones I´ve had (compared to Ultima stain 
and gloss, epson gloss and semi). Deep blacks, great midtones.
Surface - not too much palstic, not more RC then FBSprays easily (well 
the two sheets I half sprayed did!
Now my paper of choice
Looks great matted and/or framed. I could sell this.

Cons
Too thin - I´d prefer a 300 gram sheet

I´ll bring prints and paper to the london meet Nij!

Julian
