If these prints look this fantastic on video I can only imagine what they look like in person. My question is do you have to coat this hand made paper to accept the Piezo inks? Or other types of non-inkjet papers?
Great video, beautiful looking prints! Thanks Jon! Since the paper is so thin did you use the same backing sheet when you made the uncoated paper profile (.quads) and .icc profile?
Hi Michael, we did. We kept the target mounted on a thin white receiver paper in order to bring the luminance up on the 700 gray patch target. The print to screen match was really good! :)
No, not at all. Most of the gampi and traditional washi take inkjet ink beautifully. But, you do often need to better control the amount of ink being printed on it. ICC profiling can help. But, we use a printer driver that we can more easier control how the ink is printed, the total amount of ink from all the channels, and then on top of that we profile with the Piezography Professional Edition toolkit. But, you can also get really beautiful results by on these paper with traditional printer driver that comes with the printer. You would probably need play around with the different paper settings in the printer driver to get an idea of what setting produces the best ink output on the paper. Coating it removes a lot of the more intrinsic and lovely qualities that the gampi has (like sheen...) The inks then sheen... They are definitely worth the work.....
@@ConeEditions Thanks! I just started learning Richard Boutwell's Quick Curve-QCDN to go with my epson p800. I love the rice papers and will defiitely look in to it. Is there a front and back side to this paper? I'm so sorry I missed George's Show at the Crary Gallery. We're only an hour away, but we were in Maine at the time.
Boards of Canada was a very lovely, unexpected touch
I love it when I see skilled craftsmen performing their craft... It helps me trust when I deliver my work, as a photographer, for printing...
I never thought of supporting the Washi paper on a more rigid base. that open up a whole new world of printing possibility. Thank you.
Happy to help!

Does this paper need to be pre- coated like commercial papers are for inkjet/pigment printing?

@@dorothykloss5303 both sides are printable but also usually different from one another. We print on the smoother side.
Jon - What's the specific Washi paper you're using?
It is Echizen Washi. th-cam.com/video/UG9EMhwvRhI/w-d-xo.html
