What have you replaced the Harman with that has a similar finish?
Thanks.
Paul
Paul, I'm now using Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Baryta. No, it is not the same, but it's very, very good. And I no longer worry about mounting causing problems.

Thanks, John.

Is the surface a similar semi-gloss?  And my two main gripes with the Harman are curl (with rolls) and easy scratching.  How have you found those issues?

Thanks.

Yes, I have a very good reason.

I sell prints to professionals that display them in galleries with
quartz halogen incandescent lamps. These have a CRI af 100 and temperature of about 2800-3000K.

The old type A illumenant is way closer to this lamp than the
D50 illumenant which simulates daylight at noon at mid-latitudes in the northern hemisphere.

I've always thought it's very silly to use a 5000K light source to preview a print when
it will probably never be viewed under those lighting conditions.  Of the several dozen people I know
who collect and view fine art photographs, only one is using Solex 5000K bulbs to view the prints.
Thanks for your explanation.
But... Do you prefer to profile your printer for type A illuminant also? If so how do you (or your clients) calibrate your display(s)? Setting 2800-3000 K for display's white point color temperature?

Harman Gloss FB AL does not have a semi-gloss surface!? I find it more glossy, as in the name, with a texture-less surface. Scratching is a problem that I have with most Baryta papers. Coating helps a lot with that.

Thanks for the info.

BTW. Would love to get the 17 by 25 inch format back, A2 is a little to short.

So everything is the same.  Is it correct to say that custom profiles made for the old FbAl should work fine with the Hahnemuhle papers?

Thanks.

Paul

Yes you can use the 'Old' Harman profiles for the Gloss and WT FB papers. I did a quick comparison and you should get a slightly better gamut using the Harman profiles, although the difference is very small.

Am I missing something or is there no longer a matte baryta paper?

Yes it is .. I believe it can be obtained directly from the Harmanexpress website.

Paul, I'm using, and prefer, the original profile.  Check this post for more details:
