WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US
San Gabriel SemiGloss Fiber Paper
I have been printing on San Gabriel SemiGloss paper (11x14) for almost a year, my other papers are Brilliant Museum (SilverGloss Natural) and Canson RAG (Photographique). In terms of accurate color, to my eyes, and price for performance, RR is the winner while Canson is a bit warmer and Brillant Museum is on the cooler side. One should choose the paper to suit the image. However, San Gabriel is the best overall choice. I use self-fill ink from Inkjetmall and ICC profile downloaded from RR on an Epson R3000 and am very well pleased with the results both in color and monochrome. Recommend that you explore various RGB to monochrome conversion algorithms as the conversion process can leave a heavy foot print on the final paper choice.
