Digital BW, The Print

So Group,
      Let me get this straight. Are you saying I can get round this problem
by using different paper with just black? Please bear in my I am at present
using a printer of a much lower spec than the 2000P using the T008 5 colour
and T007 black cartridges found in the 890 printer (So presumably the same
performance as those printers). My experiments so far with black only have
been with matte finished cards from Epson.

      Would you recommend getting to grips with photoshop for getting better
control of output.?

      What sort of quality could I expect from just printing straight from
Picture It with MIS variable inks? The inksupply website seem to hint that
you really needed Paul Roark's curves. Are these only useable from with in
photoshop or am I missing something out.

      Failing any decent answers to the above could anyone recommend a good
entry point piece of documentation or book which could lead me into this
technology with a human understanding?

  Thanks

  Patrick Brosnan

  Just checking, Tiger,

  That surface is my all time choice as the ugliest surface a paper could
have. Looks like cheap plastic. We used to use the Ilford Multigrade
  IV at work, and although the prints looked great, the surface didn't.
Never could understand why kodak ever chose that surface for their
  "matte" papers at the 90 minute photo places.  I guess its' just a matter
of choice.

  Does ANYBODY know WHY paper manufacturers do not offer an air dried glossy
looking inkjet paper? Like Oriental or Elite Glossy, but air
  dried at room temperature? I've never seen one that was close to that. I
wonder why.
