Guardian - not happy so far

["Tim Atherton" <timphoto@nt.sympatico.ca>]

Well,

Along with my first order of Somerset Photo Enhanced I got a few sample
sheets of Guardian. Not impressed so far.

I have tried various settings (using MIS Quadtone inks) and haven't got a
good result. Reasonable tonal range, but the image is nowhere near as crisp
as I can get with Concord Rag, Liege, and now Somerset Enhanced. Much more
bleeding than these papers. Even using ordinary Somerset Velvet I prefer the
results to Guardian.

Unless anyone can offer any useful suggestions, I won't be using it any
more.

BUT as for the Somerset Enhanced - I just love it. No, it doesn't quite give
really really rich blacks, but most of the time it is just great. Now, if
there was just a less creamy version of Concord Rag...?
