Yes, OBA's skew color perceptions with different lights. But are these "skews" outside of the auto-correction of the human eye? I doubt it. Like Fuji's Velvia that catered to the human brain by using increased saturation, OBA's do the same. We just sorta automatically love that very white...

I don't "do" Adobe. Ever.

Maybe I reinvented the wheel here. As a step in promoting The Verizzo Family Photographic Estate www.vphotoestate.com , I wanted explanations, credit, and copyright information on the front. The actual image to be quite a bit smaller than the paper size. For instance, 6-7" on the long side...

Emulator, where can I download a good, full sized image of the PNG one? The one I did was like 260KB and showed jaggies on the monitor.

I first thought, "Why?" Then some of the comments, especially in regard color shifts and drying time establishment, well, that's cool. If a printer and it's ICC profile is as good as can reasonably be expected to translate from JPG/PNG, then whatever the monitor shows is the suspect party if...

Damn, and I just bought a gallon of each color of food dye.............

As I was just reminded a few days ago! I printed to full 13x19 but wasn't particularly seeking high dpi. Banding. Oops.

Any chance you were trying Draft ("Fast") with a photo paper setting?

Other than the difference in perception due to variance between daylight and other sources, I have a hell of a lot more important things to worry about that OBA's. Especially since most paper use them to some degree or another. People like white papers.

Saves me going to the gym.

Oh, yeah, lots of wisdom there................ Going back to the question of the OP, "If there was only one paper....", I fudge. And three years ago it would not have the same answer as today, nor probably three years hence. Changing opinions due to both experience and tech changes. I'm...

@palombian: Sounds like you are enjoying your journey, have at it! I never owned any Canon paper at all until but a few years ago. Partly led by the mistaken belief that Canon, et. al. automatically charge more than an equivalent product off-brand. I think that was true once, but companies...

Having been in the photo hobby for over a half century, I've long noticed that many photogs love to calculate the cost of paper and film from different sources, bulk loading, etc. And you know what? I was guilty as hell of doing that most of my life. Eventually I realized that it was foolish...

But I don't!

Congrats, Roy!

Based on lots of observations from the wet darkroom to the present dry light room, satin has more gloss than matte. By quite a bit. In fact, Canon calls their one paper Semi-Gloss, but on the back in the multi-language descriptions it's called Satin. Pearl, which Ilford came up with many...

I wasn't addressing cost because it didn't matter for my inquiry. And there is a huge range of paper costs, starting with where one lives. I'd rather think that a person spending a relative lot of money on a large, pro printer isn't going to make a paper decision on cost. Here in the US...

Remember back in the day of film, the popular photo magazines would have “Shoot outs” for a film category, like high speed slide? They would magnify little portions, examine the colors, pontificate, etc. OK, so I’ve made a dozen or more identical test prints with the papers I have, including...

Amen, bro.

Hmmm....none of my Canon dye printers - the only kind I own - awake with a print job. All hard wired via USB. No biggee, I just get the warning that the printer is offline. And then I have to spend untold amounts of energy to...to...to....push the On button.
