Digital BW, The Print

Helen,
OK, it is starting to make sense now, thanks.
The 822/824 thing sounds just like the MIS “what new base?” response.
Have you tried creating an IJC 822 channel in your printing curves, or do
you prefer to put down a uniform coating after printing?

Best regards,
John Moody

John,
I found that running the K3/2200 B&W prints through my R800 and laying
down Epson glop actually decreased the D-Max slightly - by an average
of 0.1 - and also produced occasional blemishes that had the appearance
of minute light-coloured blisters. I didn't investigate further, mainly
because of the lowering of D-Max.

I'm a bit baffled by the 822/824 thing, and we have had slightly
different stories from Image Specialists ("824 has a little more gloss
and it has replaced 822") and Weink ("IS only list 822 as Krystal
Topkote. 824 is replacement glop.")

The bottle of 822 is marked as both Krystal Topkote and clear base. At
the rate we're using it, the 500 ml won't last long so I'll try some
824 in a while. If anything, I'd like a bit more gloss.

Best,
Helen
