epson 2200 help
"Judit Fabian" wrote in message
... Besides the Epson papers mentioned by others, the Canon Photo Pro (Glossy) works well with the 2200 (and the 1270 as well), and it is a beautiful glossy paper if you like glossy. Does the Canon glossy paper exhibit the same metamerism effect when viewed at an angle? Anyone know of any brand glossy paper printed with the 2200's inks that gives a more realistic photo result? I prefer the matte papers; however, my son loves those glossies Jim |

epson 2200 help
I found some paper on Ebay, I thought I was buying Epson paper, turns out
its not Epson but Vesta ultra+ premium glossy 13 inches x 33 feet for Epson 2200, around $32 shipped, I made a 13x 40 panoramic on it and it looks as good as the Epson premium glossy 8x11, have not compared it to the Epson Luster, for the price and looks I ordered another one. the original problem was the Epson ink drying speed on HP paper, if you slow it down its just OK, I won't be using HP paper on Epson printer. speaking of ink I assume the generic ink will give the same set of problems ? thanks Gary "Bill Hilton" wrote in message ...

I prefer the matte papers; however, my son loves those glossies Haven't used it myself (I find I have fewer problems if I stick to the Epson papers) but I've heard the Pictorio Glossy doesn't show the bronzing effect as much. Have also heard from reliable sources that using the top quality print sprays increases the print life and also minimizes the bronzing as well. I can see spraying larger prints one might sell but it sounds like too much of a hassle for every small print you pop out. Supposedly the newest Epson printer fixes the bronzing-on-glossy problem, dunno the model number but something like R800 or similar. |

I prefer the matte papers; however, my son loves those glossies Jim By far the worst brassing (metamerism?) that I see is with Epson's own glossy paper. The best heavyweight glossy papers I've found are TDK Reference and Pro Grade glossy, and they can usually be found at a good price by shopping around. The relatively inexpensive Ilford Galerie isn't bad either, and you can pick that up at Sam's. I wouldn't use matte ink on these for obvious reasons, but Photo Black should be OK. All these papers will exhibit some slight color shift, usually greenish or brownish, but depending on how critical your needs are, they are easy enough to profile, or simply make minor adjustments in the printer driver. |

I just using the 2200. I tried the Ilford semi gloss paper and it works very
well. It's a glossy but not over glossy finish. I like it better then the pearl surface. Harvey |
