Warm metallic paper

[David Eckels]

I am looking for a "warm" metallic paper for a client's project. I have thought about Moab Pearl. Any other suggestions?

They all contain OBAs somewhere in their construction. The screenshot of SpectrumViz will tell you. If you can live with a pearlescent type the Mitsubishi gives the warmest impression of all and its light reflection is better too.

I've tried four, Moab, Breathing Color Vibrance Metallic, Red River (Mitsubishi) and  Kodak, and haven't noticed any of them having a "warmish" tint. My preference is for Breathing Color because it doesn't have a pearlescent look but is more like a metal print, but Red River is also nice.

Either Mitsubishi and/or Red River changed available papers since I made the measurements (pefectly possible, I get not enough samples here) but the ones I measured were different, visually and measured.

i recently tried epson metallic paper.  i did a comparison print between it and epson premium glossy.  the image was of a wedding couple (friends) that were standing outside in front of a rust/copperish colored wall.  i think depending on the angle i looked at on the epson metallic, it was HUGELY warm compared to the epson premium glossy.  i printed with factory profiles, from photoshop on epson 3880.

I love Moab Slickrock Metallic Pearl.  But not the Silver Metallic which is truly awful.

The Pearl doesn't look metallic, just pearl.

The Silver makes the print look more like a black and white positive the silver cast just overwhelms the print

Interesting, they look very different. All I can tell you is that 3 years ago when I did my metallic paper tests I called Red River and they said they were selling repackaged Mitsubishi. Maybe that's changed.
