Carl, 

I would like to try using this for BO printing myself as I have just
received some Perma Jet Oyster 271 and an Eboni Cartridge for my 2200.
 BUT, what paper setting do you use for this? The only options I see
are Enhanced Matte, Radiant Watercolor, and Velvet fine art.  Help!!!!
;-) I'm sorry in advance if this is something obvious. Since I don't
have Kamar Varnish I am going to try the Prismacolor stuff or Winsor
and Newton Gloss Acrylic.
