What paper you print on?

[ProC]

    Hi everybody. For the last several years we used 152mm Supra Endura F and Portra Endura Y. But for the last 4month we couldn't buy any Portra anymore so we switched for Kodak ProFoto E. But the paper quality difference is SO huge that we concidering switching over for some Fuji paper. But the problem is that we never used it before and don't know even what to try. What professional papers they have? What others use for professional output.  'll be grateful for any responce.

We used Fuji Super Type PD Luster finish paper for 95% of our work.  We also run Kodak Endura Metallic and Fuji Pearl paper for some jobs.  The Fuji PD paired with Digital RA chemistry has been wonderful.

I'm in the process of changing from Kodak pro papers to fuji DP. like you we were not told that portra endura had been dropped, we switched to supra but the quality has been disappointing. so I've bought a batch of the fuji and am really impressed. it is widely known that fuji is the professionals preferred brand.

After more digging I also found that Endura papers were never designed to be run through minilab type processors as they require a longer Dev time and 2 wash tanks to get the most from the paper. this is why they have dropped porta and they are releasing a new 'digital' pro paper some time next year.

hope this helps

Here's another recommendation for the Fuji Super PD and RA chemistry. Using this combination in our MP1600 is as close to painless and foolproof as I've ever seen.

  Intresting thing, I can't  find  ANY info at all on Fuji Super PD.How do you guys even got this paper? :-/

[ProC]

  Oh, never mind on the previous one. Hope I'll be able to buy that paper to try it.

We buy direct from Fuji Film USA.  This paper as well as the new Fuji Pearl are incredible.

To thouse who print on Fuji.... What paper profile you're using for Fuji papers printing on Noritsu 3201, or 3301. We have all kinds of profiles for Fuji on 2901 but I found no profiles on newer mashines, so what do you guys use for that?

[prodpi]

We are using the "Pro Laser" Profile I believe.  I will check the profile number tomorrow on our 33's and our 34's.
