Title: what paper for this image?
Post by: buggz on March 07, 2011, 08:27:16 pm

Hello everyone,
It was a wet, cold, windy weekend, I got bored...

Natural window light:

I can only imagine it will be difficult to print this to even resembling the screen output.
I would like to make a nice 13x19" print for my niece to take to school.
I have a Canon 9000MkII, gonna give a whirl after finding a paper profile that shows good soft proofing promise.
Anyone have any ideas?
Seems Canon Photo Paper Pro Platinum soft proofs the best, of the limited profiles I have.
I guess that's a glossy paper? I have never tried it, but, I am not too keen on glossy papers.
I have a ColorMunki and can make profiles if someone knows a better paper to use.

try a metalic. it's a bummer that inkpress doesn't think they need profiles more recent than 2002, but if you use their metalic as a glossy reg paper you might get nice results

Sorry, can't recommend a paper, still trying to unscrew my eyeballs!

I'll second the metallic. It may work, it may not, but it's definitely worth a try!
