Re:Smooth uncoated paper?

2002-10-18 by Jon Zax

Uncoated papers are tricky to print on, especially with the Epson printers.

I have finally found some success at it with my Epson 9000 and the OEM 
Photo dye set.

I have been using all the papers I had left from my days of owning an 
Iris printer.
My fave was Whatman's HotPress 140 lb.
Also Farbriano Uno works very well, these are heavy smooth and hard 
surfaced, 100% rag papers.

They all do very well in my South Window Torture tests.
