Re: [Digital BW] New Costco paper-any info?

2006-11-09 by Tom Baker

Which MIS ink are you using?  I don't see the gloss differential with the MIS PRO inks in the R220.

          I found myself staring at the boxes of Costco paper a couple days 
ago...they still had a couple boxes of the old stuff which I use for 
color proofing, but being faced with profiling a new R260 I went with 
the new paper so I wouldn't have to do it again when i did switch, and 
have been pleasantly surprised. It was easier to get good color out of, 
prints well with pigs, and has a nicer surface than the old paper. With 
MIS inks it has a LOT of gloss differential, it needs coating. I'm 
getting a dmax of 2.28 uncoated, 2.38 with Premier, and 2.58 with MIS 
glop. Even though Premier doesn't give the most dmax boost, the surface 
gloss and texture with it is quite pleasing, and very 'ADFB' in 
character. I'll start a south-window test tomorrow, but in the 
meantime, does anyone know anything more about this stuff?
