Granted that the paper is really perceived blue under the customer's
real-world viewing conditions (not considering artificial viewing booth
conditions), then I'm wondering what's the rationale for choosing
such an OBA-rich paper for this particular purpose?
Aren't there more neutral papers available on the market?
And generally:
I can understand that OBAs are used to make yellow-ish paper "white"
under typical viewing conditions, but is it really necessary that
paper manufacturers over-dose the OBAs so heavily, that printing
houses feel forced to use special profiles which attempt to compensate
the blue-ish tint again?
Are there good reasons for the high OBA usage, or is it just
marketing ("our paper is whiter than that of the competitor" - meaning
actually that it is blue-er)?
Regards,
Gerhard
