RE: [Digital BW] How to print on extremely thin Japanese silk paper with pigment inks

2013-07-23 by E.Neilsen

I was surprised too! I was looking for a setting to print on vellum. If one
is looking for an in expensive way to do that, QTR is a real possibility
too, but I'd first try some of eth newer setting. I was printing on my
buddies 9900 yesterday and there are additional setting there too; synthetic
