[Digital BW] Re: Optical Brighteners in Inkjet Papers

2002-04-11 by chameleon728

Robert, All--
Only the Epson 10000 (and 9500/7500) have a setting specifically for 
SFA and TFA.  Coincidentally, the paper settings are called "smooth 
fine art" and "textured fine art."  The 2000P, 1270/80/90 do not have 
a specific paper setting for SFA, TFA or Museo.

For the 2000P, we recommend using the Archival Matte paper setting to 
produce a profile.  

For the 1270/80, we recommend using the Photo Quality Inkjet Paper or 
Photo Quality Glossy Paper settings if you aren't using a profile. If 
you are using a profile then Heavyweight Matte seems to work better.

For more details, please contact me off-list at rrex@...

hope this helps
