Greyscale on Endura metallic

[tim atherton]

Has anyone successfully made b&w prints on Endura metallic paper (or whatever it's called now)

I've seen some greyscale lightjet prints before and there has always tended to be a bit of a cast - magenta or green, or it's too cool/blue

But I just got a promo thing in the mail printed on this and it look really good (and cool). Very neutral, no colour cast


But I don't know what it was printed on - lightjet, chromira, lambda or what?

Yes we have made B&W prints on Endura Metallic with no colour cast problems, Fuji now is introducing their own version and I am getting a roll shortly.
Both papers can be printed on enlargers, lightjets, lambdas, chromiras or any LED printing device.
The problem with colour cross curve is related to either an out of balance colour process or an improperly calibrated printing device.

I use this paper primaraly for black and white negatives to scan then start playing with the shadow colour vs the highlight colours to produce duo toned images so I delibertly make the image funky.
