Warm Tone Ink Jet paper?

[Wallace_Billingham]

If you are up for trying a matte paper you should also check out Hahnemühle Bamboo. For B&W work it has become my favorite paper.

sounds like you are into more of a traditional photo surface, so another good possibility is Innova FibaPrint Warm Tone Gloss-

I've seen a number of nice prints by Steve Gledhill on this paper.
Of course Museo Silver Rag is another, with a bit more stipple in the surface.

Date yourself section - how many of you ever dried a glossy print GLOSSY on a ferotype plate?

#$&%$#!

(And you may quote me on that!)

Well Ed I have. And I really didn't like them then nor now. I always preferred an air dried paper.

But newspaper editors didn't. Thinking back, that might have been a key difference between a fine art print and a commerical print in the day - ferotyped or air dried.

More like ferro-cooked. What was the name of those big rotating drum dryers with the hypo stained cloth that held the print against the shiny surface?

Yes, those are the ones we had - - ratty, nasty looking, stained, coarse canvas-like cloth that wrapped around the outside after you put you print in...

Hi Wayne,

If you can tolerate a slight amount of bronzing, try Ilford Gold Fibre Silk Baryta paper. Make certain to use the proper profile for that paper.

We compared prints made on two other types of paper this morning, and the Gold Fibre definitely was warmer. Fairly close to the look of air dried Ilford Multigrade Warmtone fibre based silver paper.

I think you'll like it.

What printer/ink were you using that gave bronzing?

Bill,

Bob McCarthy and myself use Hewlett-Packard Vivera ink in HP-Photosmart Pro B9180 printers.

We have installed the proper profiles for the paper in both of our printers.

Both of us experience bronzing with that combination of paper and ink. We were told that it was a characteristic of the light gray Vivera ink on that paricular paper.

Bob uses a spray specifically designed to eliminate the problem. I mat my prints and put them under a plastic sleeve, and the bronzing is not noticeable.

Do you have another fix?
