4802 Silk Gloss 300gsm

This is a silk finish 300gsm media with overall properties (apart from gloss) that resemble its stable mate. There is a slight loss of Dmax, the Granger Chart remained ragged with the Sihl profile and the metamerism was again low. The media was used to create a very nice, neutral monochrome print and we preferred it overall to the gloss offering – apart from any other consideration, it was less susceptible to marking during handling.

Summary

The good points are the very high Dmax of the blacks, good weight, high(ish) gamut volume and fast drying. You can take your own counsel on the OBA loading. On the one hand it gives bright prints, on the other, it pales the skin tones and will be more vulnerable to yellowing. It is certainly worth a look at though.

Photo Quote: For me, the creation of a photograph is experienced as a heightened emotional response, most akin to poetry and music, each image the culmination of a compelling impulse I cannot deny. Whether working with a human figure or a still life, I am deeply aware of my spiritual connection with it. In my life, as in my work, I am motivated by a great yearning for balance and harmony beyond the realm of human experience, reaching for the essence of oneness with the Universe. - Ruth Bernhard
