Digital BW, The Print

Robert,

Do you have a product number and/or place at Atlex (or Epson) where they
describe the Epson Pro Glossy?  I see a roll of "Photo Glossy Paper," #
SP91021, but I don't see the "Pro Glossy."

I hope that the existing vm curves will print on this paper like the other
Epson papers.

Atlex has it...but it is much more expensive than the Ilford...if you buy
the Ilford in quantity...that is now my standard proofing paper.  The Epson
Pro Glossy is lighterweight than the Ilford, but has a surface much more
like a silver paper than anything else I've seen...it is also rated for
longevity, unlike the photo paper...which is even lighter still.

Actually I was referring to using your curves with the epson driver...from
what you've said above I take it that they worked relatively well.
