The neutrality of the White and Black points is very good, as seen in rows 5, 6, 8 and 9 of Column C in Figure 4. The White point, at L*98, is normal for this kind of paper, and the Black Point, at L*3, is just one point higher than for some other similar papers, but most human beings wouldn’t see a difference between L*0~L*3. The gamut volume, at 916,577, sits within the high range of inkjet papers and provides enough for most photographs. BC River Stone Satin Profile/Paper Evaluation Results This is on the whole a well-formed profile, with fine performance characteristics, as shown in the evaluation results (Figure 4). River Stone Satin Custom Profile – 3D View – Lower River Stone Satin Custom Profile – 3D View – Upper Figure 3. River Stone Satin Custom Profile – 2D View Figure 2. Figures 1, 2 and 3 show the profile shape in 2D, 3D upper and 3D lower respectively. I profiled the paper with my i1Pro2 spectrophotometer and i1Profiler using the application-generated 2371 patch set. The paper is supplied in a range of sheet sizes and roll widths – details on their website. I refer readers to the Breathing Color website where they describe their method of longevity testing, which is neither Wilhelm nor Aardenburg. I cannot speak for the longevity of the paper apart from noting the absence of OBAs and the cotton substrate. The company also recommends using custom profiles for this paper, as they do not yet supply OEM profiles. The texture of the coating is “Satin”, hence very similar to a Luster paper, printed with Photo Black ink Breathing Color recommends using Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper 260 as the Media Type. No curl or creases occur.Īccording to Breathing Color the paper contains no OBAs, and I find no evidence of OBAs in my testing – that is, no spike in the 380-400 nm range when I measured paper White with my i1Pro2 spectrophotometer. Doing so, it feeds through the manual feed slot of the Epson SC-P5000 easily, which requires the paper to bend as it feeds through to the printing platen. ![]() Breathing Color advises using the widest platen gap the printer driver provides and setting the paper thickness manually to a level corresponding with its thickness. Weighing 350 gsm and with 18 mil caliper, this is a thick, fairly stiff product. Because of this the paper can be printed on both surfaces, but Breathing Color advises that for the best results we should print on the front. Instead, the back is also coated, which is rather nice because it avoids shedding cotton lint into the printer. ![]() The user wouldn’t see this from handling the paper, because it does not have the warm and fuzzy feel of the usual cotton papers on the market. This is also “a paper with a difference” (or several).īreathing Color’s documentation says the substrate is 100% cotton. When we were discussing the idea of testing and reviewing Breathing Color’s Belgian Linen, the company recommended that we may also wish to look at their new River Stone Satin Rag paper.
