Epson Paper names..

2003-07-25 by Tim Atherton

I remember a while back, someone saying that the Professional Glossy Paper
which is only available in 13x19 is the exact same paper as one that only
comes in rolls (I think only 24" and 38") which has a different name...
anyone remember?

On a different note, I recently got my 2200 and have been playing with the
greyscale balancer. I haven't even tried matte papers yet, but I happened to
have a box of letter sized Ilford Smooth Gloss. This seems to have come out
very nicely indeed.

While it does seem to metamerise slightly (I don't have any florescent light
handy, so just going from daylight to tungsten) it remains neutral
throughout the changes. Indeed, I carried a silver print of the same image
along side it, and the changes were no more objectionable than I could see
on that print.

Also, it doesn't really "bronze" (and certainly much less than the various
Epson glossy and semi-gloss papers) it's more that it "silvers" - which
again is much less objectionable. This is by far the closest to a silver B&W
print (albeit RC) I have got from any Epson printer, including many
different formulations of MIS Quads...
