By the way, your strong endorsement of the BO technique was 
one of the reasons I decided to give it a try. Thanks, I'm glad I did!

  The luster of EEM really shines thru' in my White Sands 
images. Hearing about it is one thing, seeing the results is very 
refreshing.  The clouds really do have a "silver lining" and sand 
textures are delicious. I just hope that  mounting under glass 
does not kill the effect.

*--If you choose "Heavy Matte Paper"  with the  1280,  you cannot 
select the fine 2880 print setting(grayed out).  This may be an 
improvement with the 2200, or maybe just a way to allow you to 
print at 2880. I can see no drawbacks when printing matte on the 
"high gloss" setting. I was just concerned that the "high gloss" 
setting might cause the ink to be layed down differently   ie-less 
thick to prevent pooling on a gloss surface. 

 Thanks for your help , Clayton!
