Thanks Kirk.

Thanks for writing out your views. I agree fully about the Hahnemuhle photo rag. For color it's superb. Too bad I can't see the show. As my work is mainly wedding and portrait....I don't get to many of my shots up in a gallery. Especially considering most couples don't want a 24x36 of themselves to look at in their living room!

All the best.

Also EP Enhanced mat is a nearly perfect cheap proofer for the expensive Velvet Fine Art (The profiles are nearly identical) and pretty good in b&w for the Hahnemuhle Photo Rag.

Paul,
Thanks for the kind words. If anyone is interersted there is a book that goes along with the exhibit. It is called "SHELTER FROM THE STORM:THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF KIRK GITTINGS" They are taking orders now but it will not be shipped until July.

Ted, here's an interesting blog, wit "real world" experience.
Take it for what it is, i.e. personal impressions of a guy who's using the 4800...this guy thinks that the major improvement of the new K3 inks compared to the "old" ultrachrome is more in the b&w prints rather than the colour ones:
