Over the course of the year I've managed to print on about 60 different papers using my Canon iPF5100. Whenever I see a new sample pack come out I grab it for fun, print out the same test image, and see what it looks like.
After having the stack stare at me for months I finally decided to do some organization and dump all the data about each paper into a spreadsheet. Most of the data is from the company website (things like whether the paper contains OBAs, is double-sided, cost/sq. in., etc.), but I also included the dMax reading that I came up with using my spectro. I'm not sure whether anyone will find the spreadsheet useful but
I've posted a beta version of it for everyone's viewing pleasure.
I still have a few things I'd like to add: I need to finish profiling about 10 of the papers (ugh), and there's some missing data on weight, paper base, and OBA usage for some of the papers. If anyone can help me fill in the missing info it would be much apperciated.
You'll also notice there's no Harman papers in the list. That's because Harman doesn't sell sample packs, and I'm unwilling to buy a full box of each of them to test. But they are on my list to try, since people think highly of them.
If anyone has suggestions for changes or other data points to add let me know!
