I had 7 glossy / luster papers and wanted to see the bronzing effect on each. I printed out the Quadtone Rip Ink Separation Test Page on each which shows 21 steps of increasing ink densities.
Ive let the papers dry for 3 days and visually viewed at an angle under an Ott-Lite which is supposed to be 5000-5500 degree Kelvin.
While somewhat subjective there are some clear differences with the Epson Luster being the worst re bronzing. I now see why so many posts here regarding the amount of Gloss and or spray required to reduce the bronzing on the PK ink for glossy/luster papers on the R800 / R1800 printers and especially the Epson Luster. All were printed 2880, uni-directional, and adaptive-hybird on my R1800.
I looked at each printed paper and the % where I thought the PK ink was not bronzing. was noted.
Imation Photo Jet None (maybe 5)
Ilford Classic Pearl (Black Box) 20/25
Ilford Smooth Pearl (Red Box) 25/30
Harman Gloss FB AL 25/30
Ilford Gold Fiber Silk 35/40
Innova Fibra Print 40/45
Epson Ultra Premium Luster 45/50 (when observed right after printing it was 60/65)
Does anyone have any data on other papers? Id be interested in the Harman Crystaljet Luster RC paper.
Comments appreciated.
