Kirkland Paper Settings For An Epson Printer

2011-01-30 by Doug Fisher

I needed some proofing paper and decided to try the Kirkland "Professional
Glossy Inkjet Photo Paper" sold at Costco since I have seen positive
comments about in the group.  Is there a consensus here about the best
settings to use to get the most performance out of this paper?  I did a
search of the archives and really didn't find anything specific.  I will be
using this with an Epson R2400 and the standard Epson inks.

I have found a couple of comments on the 'net that indicate people were
using semi gloss paper settings.  On the other hand, the very minimal paper
insert states: "The setting for the top of the line glossy photo paper of
the respective  printer manufacturer will usually work best.  Those papers
are commonly named "Premium Glossy Photo Paper," "Glossy Photo Paper" or
"Instant Dry Photo Paper."

To me, the closest choices in the R2400 driver are "Premium Photo Paper
Semi-Gloss" and "Premium Photo Paper Glossy."  The latter seems like it
would best match the instructions but I just wanted to see if anyone had
done testing to confirm whether one is better than the other.  It would be
great to not have to "reinvent the wheel" if others have already done some
testing!

Thanks in advance,

Doug
