Digital BW, The Print

Alfie,
 
If you printed with the glossy paper setting, you actually only used
three inks on the C80.  The black ink does not adhere well to the gloss
stock, and consequently, it is bypassed on the glossy setting.  If you
set the printer to matt, you will be using all 4 inks, but if you don't
spray the print, the black will then rub off.

Subject: [Digital BW] What is the closest profile for Hahnemuhle Photo
Rag in the Epson C80?
 
Hi folks,

I ran out 10 black and white prints on my Epson C80 and they turned 
out decent on the Epson regular Glossy paper (not Preminum). However, 
I noticed that it isn't exactly a true black and white print but has 
a color cast (slightly magnetia) to it considering that it used all 4 
colors to recreate the gray tones. The printing specs are impressive 
and the Glossy paper reminds me of a good Duraflex print ;)...

I'm also considering sticking in some Hahnemuhle Photo Rag into my 
Epson C80 but I can't find the profile for it under the options. 
Should I use the Epson Archival Matte standard? I presume that the 
Photo Rag is closest to that?

Anyways, what is the general consensus on the Photo Rag? Is it 
durable and wearproof (like the black inks won't rub off in everyday 
use) or it is more of a paper which needs to be behind glass? I 
assume that Epson Archival Matte is fairly durable and rub-proof if I 
want to make test proofs and definitely exhibition quality prints 
using Cone's inks next year when I get the Epson 1280.

Cool beans. As long as I can figure out to stick Photo Rag into my 
C80 I won't be getting any sleep soon.

Alfie
