Re: PK+Glossy-type papers --> MK+Matte papers

2003-02-02 by Miguel Angel Aleman <alemanma@bp.com>

Hello Mitch

I am also in the process of making the photo-black to matte-black 
transition, and just like you, I have cross-posted a related inquiry 
("Ultrachrome - Photo versus Matte Black Differences"), here and on 
the Epson-Wide-Format forum.

To maximize learnings, let's watch each other posts while comparing 
notes along the way.
