Thanks for your work Clayton. I'm going to start doing a basic fade test soon with the materials I use the most. Here's the methodology- can you improve upon...
Well, I'm a numbers guy too, but Clayton's a real stand-up guy who's done a lot for this group. I'm also pretty certain that he does use a "control" sample...

Paul, Thanks again and I wanted to follow up with a note after my inks arrived and I had a chance to load the cartridges and start printing. First, maybe it's...

Hi All, Not sure yet where this new paper is available but it has been announced in Australia: http://www.dimagemaker.com/article.php?articleID=1259 Cheers, ...

Hi Mike, ... So, it sounds like you found or made a QTR profile that used all the inks, including the sepia. If you want warm, getting the cool inks out of the...

Mike, ... I like the non-OBA papers like Premier Art's Hot Press 325 or 205, but what I really like for the warmest prints I make is what MIS sells as "Alpha."...
