epson 2200 - Velvet art paper
I am setting up my first print with my new Epson 2200. I have Epson's Velvet
Fine Art Paper. The instructions say to print on the brightest side. I see one side as more textured than the other...but not really brighter. The texture causes more shadowing if I side light it...but its not really darker. Anyone know if they really mean to print on the smoother side? -- Thanks, Gene Palmiter (visit my photo gallery at http://palmiter.dotphoto.com) freebridge design group www.route611.com & Route 611 Magazine |

Here are two tips I've read elsewhere that I've found to be generally true as well: 1. Wet your finger slightly, and touch it to a far corner (where the printer won't print anyway)...the printable side tends to be slightly sticky compared to the non-print side. 2. Take a sharpie pen and make a tiny line (again on a far unusable corner). The ink will bleed/spread slightly on the non-print side, but will stay sharp as a tack on the print-side (due to coating). -Mark |
