The charts will have suffered some distortion due to magazine printing.
The effect of changing from the web profile to a tuned bespoke profile is very dramatic and shows just what the paper is capable of.
As well as the technical stuff we also made real prints. This image of Paul Gallagher's was made using the tuned profile which smashed the accuracy record. Naturally it was absolutely flawless. There is an added depth afforded by the ultra-smooth surface along with a hike in the Dmax. As with all the baryta-like materials we tested for this series, the monochrome performance was extremely good.
