The data illustrate just how similar the materials are in base reflectivity. The Fibre Base Gloss was slightly cooler and slightly less glossy than either Record Rapid or Ilford Multigrade FB. The Spectral Power Distribution (SPD) reveals the largest difference between ink-jet and silver halide - note the greater fluctuation in the spectral trace of the ink-jet, this is the root cause of the residual metamerism in the ink set. It is barely detectable by eye though, not a matter of concern!
CONCLUSIONS
This paper is an interesting addition to the options available for the monochrome and colour specialist. In the same month as Nikon announces that it is no longer to produce a vast swath of their film-based products, the arrival of something that looks so like silver halide is ironic! The colour audit data speak for themselves, this paper will do the business.
The price is expected to be £24.95 for 25xA4 and pro-rata for A3, working out at roughly £1 and £2 per sheet. It is expected that samples and (possibly stock) will be available at Focus so put a visit on your list of stands and see for yourself.
