Digital BW, The Print

I had intended to order a second roll of the Graphica RC, to take 
some prints to Greece for the relatives-I must have been more bleary-
eyed than I realized, because what I got (and ordered) was the 
Graphica GLOSSY RC. After I came down off the ceiling, I decided to 
go ahead and use it in spite of the gloss, which is quite similar to 
E Premium Glossy, or any other glossy RC. Readings on the base are:
L = 94.5   a = 1.49  b = -5.03

Turns out that MIS K4 inks tame down that gloss to a nice smooth 
untextured sheen, with no significant bronzing, but a bit of GD 
where the shinier paper doesn't get any ink on it. Some glop or 
Premier Art takes care of that.
But get this: I'm getting a dmax of 2.45 at the low end, up to 2.58 
at the high end. A sprayed-on coat of MIS glop brings the low end up 
to 2.55, and some of my higher readings to over 2.6!!! 

Now that's a promising paper.

Don't have time to play anymore, gotta pack. When I get back I'll 
work with it some more.
