Notes from 4th Aug 2003
[posted at 10:00 GMT]    

I have got Forte ink-jet paper from my friend. I am looking to do some more printing today afternoon. Lot of plans, let see how it will turn out.
---
I scaned whole roll from Ikon Zeiss camera and print two pictures out of it. I do not know why, but I have feeling it is not that sharp as I am used to. Maybe it is by optics, but could be also because of developer change. I am using now Ilfotec LC29. Before I was always using xtol. I can also see little bit grain. It is more visible than from my xtol developed negatives, at least that how it looks to me. I need to directly compare two Neopan 400 scans devloped in different developers.
---
I also tested Forte paper and did more test with Tetenal and must say those too papers behaves verys immilar, also texture is same. They are much whiter than EAM, but they do not handle black ink that good as EAM. Sometimes you can see little reflection on places where is too much of black ink.
