Hey guys, concerning the Canson Platine Fibre Rag I've been hearing about, would I use my Matt or Glossy black ink cartridge in my Epson 4800 with this paper, and is the 310 the weight I want?
Thanks.......Chris

I use Glossy black in on my Epson 2400. The box says that the paper is 310 g/m2.
Chris, thanks for asking, I was wondering the same. Its good to know I won't have to change the black cartridge on my epson 7600 with Imageprint. This paper sounds too good!

Thanks Ken.
Yes Thad I was worried about changing carts, not exactingly cheap on our printers is it
Also try the Canson Photographique Baryta or however it's spelled. Very smooth, Platine has just a touch of texture. I use both
The baryta paper really looks like air dried glossy silver paper to me.
Both Papers use photo black.

I have used the Harmon paper since it's release. The Canson is, in my opinion, superior. Harmon had a touch of a RC look, the canson does not. It doesn't bronze at all on my 3880.
The baryta surface has virtually no pebble surface vs. Platine which does have a small amount.

And....as some have pointed out this belongs in a digital sub-forum.

Platine is a cotton rag with no oba's, museum quality standard.
Baryta is a wood fibre paper like ilford gold silk.
