Thread: Photo Black - Matte Surface papers?

    Re: Photo Black - Matte Surface papers?

    what many of us would call matte surface papers would not utilize photo black ink. But given your examples, it sounds like you are after a non-gloss photo paper. I'd look at Cone Type 5, not really very shiny at all, but good gamut.

    Yeah, I'm looking for a tweener paper, hence the somewhat oxymoronic title. Specifically I'm hunting for something with high color saturation and low reflectivity, on a surface with a tight enough stiple to appear fairly smooth. Photo Black isn't a requirement, although it would be nice to have as it would decrease ink switching costs (most of my prints are on gloss). Of the papers I mentioned, matte black is recommended for HM Photo Rag Satin, photo black for Photo Rag Pearl, and Premier says you can use either for Platinum Rag.
