Hello Eveyone,
I am new to printing and have made of 3 choices for my prints, Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308 (black and white & general use mat paper), Hahnemuhle William Turner (for my infrared 590 nm), Fine Art Baryte (for the glossy prints).
I am very happy with the Baryta and William Turner as I have used them before. I am having issues with the Photo Rag especially on Black and White prints that I cant get enough black deepness. Prints on photo rag looks a bit extra washed out to my eyes.
I am pretty aware that photo rag is not a "white" paper and all mat papers loose contrasts and darkens extra. I am also trying soft proofing of the canon print studio and also photoshop proofing but those usually simulates washed outness. I missing something to get the correct "black" in the photos, if someone can guide me at least with the high level workflow information greatly appreciated.
P.S.: Yes, I am using the right side of the Photo Rag paper.
Kind Regards,
Emre
