Hi Craig,

MSG works great on epson archival paper. It's about the only paper I
tried it on, as I just got the cartridges to try it. It also works
fabulous on glossy papers.  But I have no profiles for it on any paper.
I haven't tried it on somerset uncooked, as that paper just can't get
the blacks I want.'
