I got some of the above papers and played around with them last night on my 1200 using Epson inks. These papers have a lot of dot gain and problems with heavy colors (e.g. black) bleeding so I tried the Film setting and playing around with saturation and color intensity. My test image is a portrait photo taken in bright sun with areas of deep black next to moderately saturated colors, and more saturated colors in the out of focus background. I gave up on the Liege pretty quickly because the surface fibers in the paper tend to raise, yielding a kind of fuzzy light gray haze on the surface. If you don't mind this, the paper can be made to work, but I don't like it personally. The Concorde Rag surface stood up very well, although it is worth treating it carefully for an hour or so until it completely dries so fluff doesn't rub off the surface while it is still damp. The Concorde Rag on Film setting, automatic color, all color settings flat works pretty well, but is kind of washed out. Going up towards max saturation, and increased CMY settings worked on my portrait test image up to about 10% color increase with max saturation, then colors started bleeding at interfaces with dark blacks and pretty saturated colors. One issue with the Concorde Rag on this printer is that the ink doesn't dry instantly, so it migrates around in areas with a lot of color/black. Printing out some images and comparing them to Epson Photo Paper, the color looked very good, but subtle variations in the image were largely lost, and interfaces between strongly different colors were a bit messed up due to the colors migrating into each other. Earlier I had tried a more limited set of tests with Lumijet papers, the Classic Velour in particular seemed both a lot more forgiving, and kept higher resolution. Looking at the papers under a loupe, it seems that the individual printer ink dots can be seen on the Epson paper and on the Lumijet papers, but not on the Concorde Rag where the dot gain spreads them out to blend with neighboring dots. If the image was something like a digital painting, this might be good, because it produces a very smooth image. For photos, however, at least to my taste, too much detail and subtlety is lost. Anyone have any better techniques? Ralph - Please: Stay on topic. Trim quoted messages. http://www.leben.com/lists for list instructions.
