What Inkjet paper do You girls and guys that work hybrid use for BW print?

I have a Canon i9950 printer and up until now I´ve just been using Canon Photo Paper Pro.

Have anyone tried some of the Baryta papers for Inkjet or anything else You would recomend?

 

Kind regards

I tried the Ilford Baryta Gold Fiber Silk paper for B&W on my i9500 printer and although the paper profile says it works with the Lucia inks it chroma'd like crazy and frankly looked like crap. I really like the Hanamuhle photo rag and museum etching papers for B&W and you can buy a trial pack of Canon/Hanamuhle 13X19 paper and try both for yourself.

I recently tried the new Hahnemühle Baryta with my Quad Black 2100... the blackest black I've ever seen, outstanding results all over the place.

 

Before that I used (and still do for some work) Hahnemühle Photo Rag Bright White and Epson Enhanced Matte (aka Archival Matte).

I'm now printing exclusively with the Harmon papers. Best

D-max by far and no metamarizing. The only problem I've found is due to the humid climate I live in - the papers have to be dry-mounted to keep them flat otherwise they will develop "waves" inside the frame. Also you need to handle the larger sizes carefully as the paper will "dent" easily. But the results with these papers are stunning.

My Canon i9950 uses Dye ink, and both Canon and Ilford recomend Pigment ink for printing on Fine Art/Baryta. Have You experience on printing with Dye ink printers on these papers?

I know that the Dye ink fades faster than Pigment ink, but is that the only difference?

I´ve had some nice results with Permajet´s FB papers with the Permajet CIS on an Epson 2400.. They do a ¨normal¨ and a ¨warmtone¨ version. They do have a habit of curling though, Which can be a pain and can cause paper feed problems. Not good at £1 a sheet.

Non original inkjetpapers are hard to find here in Denmark, so I went out and bought a box of original Canon Fine Art Paper "Photo Rag" which is actually made by Hahnemühle. Just printed some bw portraits and I think they look quite nice:o) I used the matte paper ICC profile and got very black blacks and fine graduation. Think I will experiment a little more with this paper. As far as I could find out, the only problem is that they will fade faster than if I had a pigment ink printer.

 

Kind regards
