cgla.blogg.se - Kentmere fineprint vc fb neutral

The surface is better than MGIV but not quite as luscious as MGWT. Certainly I have some images that have printed on this paper like no other. The fineprint looks stark/harsh in comparison. when you have images from various papers. The base is very brigth and this can cause problems with displaying images together matted such that the paper base shows as a border. Not even close to MGWT's glow and juiciness!įineprint is super with high contrast negs but terrible at the top end as you say. MGIV has no substitute when you want max contrast and neutral tones, but I hate the surface too. Would a stronger dilution and maybe 3 minutes of time in the developer give me any better luck with the blacks on the Kentmere? Basically I want the Kentmere paper, but with MGIV's blacks.

I'm currently using LPD 1:4 and developing for 2 minutes. What are others users thoughts and opinions? Particularly about Kentmere's low Dmax, and problems with higher contrast settings. It seems to dull, definitely not like MGWT glossy finish, which I love. I'm not crazy about Ilford MGIV's glossy finish surface. The Kentmere paper seems to not be able to handle the higher grades (4 &5) and still produce true Dmax, which sucks for split grade printing which I do sometimes. Kentmere Fineprint is a beautiful paper, tones wonderfully in selenium and I believe is colder than MGIV, has a better glossy surface too. I don't have too much expereince with the Kentmere paper since Ilford took over.

I've been bouncing back and forth between Ilford MGIV and Kentmere Fineprint.
