Gray Curves for the Epson 3800

Black and White printing buffs (who own or pine for an Epson 3800) this is for you -

Some time back, we linked to Eric Chan's well organized Epson 3800 information page. He is a gray scale enthusiast, and has produced a series of GRAY CURVES for the Epson 3800 and select Red River inkjet papers. We've posted a page on the subject with helpful links, and profile downloads here.

You can download this PDF book for free from Canon's website. It's pretty exhaustive and technical, but certainly worth the effort of the 7.8 megabyte download.

Dourian Art Discontinued

Dourian Art is being discontinued as of April 2007. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause to loyal Dourian buyers.

This paper was made for Red River Paper by Hanhemuhle. The closest paper they make is called Photo Rag Duo. While not the exact paper, Photo Rag should be close in performance if not exact weight. It is available in a 190gsm and 308gsm weights while Dourian is 250gsm.

Even though Dourian is going away shortly, we think that Red River Aurora Fine Art Natural is a fine alternative. You can order 50 sheets of 8.5x11 for well under $30 - more than enough paper to get familiar with its performance characteristics. Of course, we offer custom 972 patch profiles for Aurora and a wide assortment of printers here.

If you have questions about Dourian inventory or availability, please call customer service at 888-248-8774.
