Paper Chase - End of Term Report
The world has become far more colour-savvy and colour calibration solutions have dropped in price, making them far more accessible to both professionals and enthusiasts.
Paper Chase - LANA edition d' Art Digital Paper
The base paper is 100% cotton Rag, acid free, mould made with no brightening agents. The reflectivity figures are surprisingly high and the base tone colours are all a rich, warm cream. The Smooth Natural white is the deepest cream; the other three are very similar to each other.
Paper Chase - Canvas options
The strength and directional properties of the canvas are important when it comes to framing and stretching a canvas. One of the problems that the framer has is the higher elasticity of the photographic materials compared to oil painting canvasses. Inkjet canvas is often lighter and stretchier and requires a little more care during the mounting process
Paper Chase - Board Meetings
The mechanical stability of the board allows it to be placed directly in a frame without the need to secure it to a backing piece. This means that there is less opportunity to damage a print before it is securely fitted to its frame.
Paper Chase - Half Term Report
The paper suppliers are a bit like mushrooms. We no sooner pick them off than another one pops up and from afar they like quite alike! Even though we have a backlog of paper and data to give to you, at Photokina this year there were new ranges and new papers from Croppers, Innova, Permajet, Olmec, Hahnemühle, Epson, Ferrania, Kodak, Calumet and Felix Shoeller - and they are only the ones we saw! We have not even started on the gloss, lustre and semi matte ranges although we have started some analysis.
Paper Chase - Impart True Cotton Matt Canvas
Paper Mill Direct recently introduced a true canvas to their media line-up, along with a Giclée Varnish. Under their Impart banner, True Cotton Canvas is a 340gsm, 50 micron, cotton Oxford twill with a slightly cream, matte coating. It does not appear to have any optical brighteners added to its coating and is available in a wide range of widths including 330, 432, 610, 915, and 1067mm. We tested it on an Epson 7600 using the Photo Black ink set.
Paper Chase - Fotospeed Product
Fotospeed provide a number of specialist products for the silver halide and inkjet imaging markets. We look in this Paper Chase at their tough canvases and their “Extended Gamut” fine art papers.
Paper Chase - Matt Black or Photo Black - Which is Best
We examine the implications of choosing either the Matte Black or Photo Black option for the Epson Ultrachrome ink set and then see how the decison affects the analysis of a new canvas material from Epson, PremierArt Water Resitant Canvas.
Paper Chase - Permajet Fibre Base Gloss
This is a brand new paper. So new in fact that the very few experimental sheets around were being couriered about the country to get a couple of prints ready in time for the SWPP & BPPA Convention.
Paper Chase - The Permajet papers
Within the paper suppliers in the UK, one range stands out as the most comprehensive in terms of the number of surfaces offered. The Permajet livery is easily recognised on the shelves of the better professional suppliers with its silver and yellow, setting off the bright sunflower.
Paper Chase - Impart Image Impact
This issue, Paper Chase moves to the English Lake District to review a product line from the old established firm of James Cropper.They have taken their existing knowledge of fine board making and applied modern coatings for ink jet use.With the brand names Impart, Impact and Image, many of the finishes are available as 1.3mm board, providing a bonus for the busy studio as they can be inserted straight into the frame without further finishing operations.
Paper Chase - Olmec Paper
Olmec is a brand name for papers manufactured by ICI. With a long-standing expertise in both coatings and plastics it is not surprising that they developed ink-jet media quite early on in the market cycle.
Paper Chase - Hahnemuhle - The Art of Expression
The main changes are the introduction of Natural Art Duo (216gsm has been upgraded to 256gsm, Photo Rag Duo (the 316 and 196 variants have been reduced to a universal 276gsm), Museum Etching 350 is introduced, Fine Art Pearl 285 is introduced as is Photo Rag
