Hi David, The Cold press was a little less at around D1.84 or D1.85, if my memory serves me well. Exhibition Fiber paper was well over D2.?? (I would have to go look at my records in the lab), but I don't usually like the glare of glossy--it defines the surface and prevents the 3D effect you can get from a matte paper, for example--the effect of looking "into" the image, rather than at an image on the surface of a paper. This 3D effect works well with my images. I do actual 3D stereopairs too, but there's no paper specifically for that (even though there used to be a color transparency material, called Stereojet), but I digress.

David, I assume you mean the signature worthy paper. What happens when you use the cold press?

Still, the "blacks" (Dmax) are not as good as we would like and such matte and art papers. Best I've measured is D1.87 or so on Epson Hot Press. I use an Epson 7890.

Roger,
I want to add, the Epson Pro 9600 with MK, could not render or, if you will, express, the colors on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper 140 gsm, as does the Epson Pro 9900. What a tremendous difference. 9900 is nearly miraculous. Just my humble opinion.
With the 9900 I have only used MK.
Warm Regards,
David

David,
I know some people who have waste their time trying to outperform SOME canned profiles. HP comes to mind. It's a complicated issue to be sure. It depends on a lot of factors. With some printers and some media and some drivers, I've seen canned profiles way outperform custom profiling.
HP has really done some profiles right. Beats the shit of all my tools and instruments...
Kindly / Roger

Hi Neil.
I don't think what I am writing is part of your issue. I use custom .icc profiles I create on my own. I refuse to use canned profiles!
Cheers
