Clayton and I have been talking on the phone a bit lately about the BO
process (and I purchased his ol' 870 too) and he and I have been
talking of using the Epson EEM for proofing and the Photo Rag for
final and sale prints. I've been trying out a few other "fine art"
papers for BO printing on my 2200 such as the Archives Infinity and
Entrada Fine Art but both of those have mottling in the darkest black
areas---and I'm at a loss as to how to prevent that. I have tried
adjusting curves and paper type settings but nothing seems to work.
Anyway, I simply love the darker blacks, sharpness and gorgeous shadow
detail of the BO 2200 prints on the PR so I'm sticking to that for now.
