Digital BW, The Print

Steven

How can you compare it to Silver rag or VFA.. .. Silver rag Is a 100 %
cotton paper.. This isnt.. ? ? it should Cost less to..

here Is a Link to the data Sheet..
http://www.sihlusa.com/data_sheets/3695.pdf I have Seen This Paper and It
does print well.. But Steve your Trying to compare Apples To Oranges On This
One..


Last night Clayton & I did some comparison prints on Iridium, Crane
Silver Rag, and VFA, on the 2400 with Epson K3 inks. The one thing
I'm very sure of, is that the surface and sheen of the Iridium beats
all hell out of the Crane- I do hope Crane can do something about
that, because otherwise it is a very impressive paper
Quickly though: with default ABW settings (except for the 'gamma'
setting being on 'lightest') the Iridium had at least as good a dmax
as the Silver Rag, with equal or better shadow detail, and better
highlight retention. It tended to print a bit cooler than SR and
noticeably cooler than VFA. VFA had the lowest dmax of the three,
but had a luminosity and a richness that more than made up for it. I
should point out, however, that Clayton's test images were optimized
for the VFA.
