bronzing

2004-04-16 by Jesus RV

Dear all:

again, my excuses for a very simple question. As you might know, English is not my first 
language (nor even the third). I have been trying to find a translation /explanation of the 
technical word "bronzing", with no success. Although I intuitively guess its general 
meaning, I would love to have a not-that-intuitive explanation. Would any of you be so 
kind to explain it to me? Maybe in order not to clog the list, you can simply make this 
"opus misericordiae" sending me an email.
Thank you very very much
Jesus R. Velasco

I've been on the net for 10 years, and that's not what poor English
sounds right.  Not bad for a third language.  :)

To me Bronzing is a metallic sheen visible in the dark areas of prints. 
I usually see it above 90% on a greyscale ramp.  You'll notice that the
sheen is highly reflective when you tilt it under a light source.  This
is usually more of a problem with glossy papers.

And on an unrelated note; I know I haven't been that vocal on the list
for a while guys, but I just wanted to give Paul a quick shoutout.  I
got a free C84 with my shiny new iMac.  Tried the EZ-BW inkset and I'm
absolutely amazed, and I own a 2200!  

Nicely done Paul!  This makes digital B&W extremely accessible to new
users.

My waffling decision du jour is to go the C84 EZ route.

I found that not only is there a $20 rebate till the end of June in the USA 
for purchase of a C84, but there is a $50 rebate if you buy any digital 
camera on the same invoice.  They must figure that if you buy a camera you 
are much more likely to buy lots of ink and Epson paper.

My wife had been planning to get me a new pocket digicam for my 
birthday.  Now I'm being a good boy in hopes of getting the C84 too.   For 
$50 net it's not a very tough decision.

Justin, did you go warm or neutral, glossy or matte?   Any comments about 
those choices appreciated.  I'm tempted to split it down the middle and do 
the warm yellow cart that Paul R is fond of, but there is some comment 
about it using more ink in self-tests that way.   Paul?
