Digital BW, The Print

Jim,

Tyler's RGB separation curves for MIS-VM ink and the Epson 1280 were
specifically made for Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, aka Media Streets Royal Ren. So
if you use the proper settings for those curves you will be right on target,
even better than on EAM. I generally never change the paper thickness lever
on my 1280's. The 189 gsm feeds just fine.

I don't know if spraying this paper will gain you much.

I have never used it for color. You will have to experiment with the driver
settings or have a custom ink/paper profile made which is probably the best
way to go. You might want to ask that question on the Archival Color list,
too.
