testing

It is a late in evening and I am finishing some paper tests. I bough today cheap Epson Photo Paper, glossy one. I have prepared file in resolution which I will use for final A3+ size prints and made test crop of small size A6. Now I am printing these small test prints to safe ink and at the same time paper. I can still see, on small crop, how the whole A3+ size print will look. It reminds me doing preparation for final print in darkroom. You know all those test strips.

I kind of like it even this has no much future as a UltraChrome inks will be replaced by MIS UT7 ones. And those, according to tracking, had left Chicago today lunch time.

I made a lot of spraying on Ilford Smooth Pearl paper. I will see morning in daylight if it helps.

What I have also try today was printing using ICC profile of Ilford paper from Ilford itself. It turns out quite ok comparing to QTR, just warmer.

So here I am busy with technical stuff, I hope you do not mind, but I can imaging that it isn’t any extremely interesting reading. Therefore I put one more night mood image on-line. Maybe you find it interesting, I like it quite a lot.
