Re: Why use PhotoRag paper

Clayton,

I ordered the papers that you recommended.

Do you have recommendation for the dot gain setting for the different 
papers on the output side.

Currently my dot gain of 20% for monitor and output works great.  I 
get WSYWIG.  With these new papers,  should I lower the printer dot 
gain to 18% or 15%.  That will make the image darker, but that may 
work well since you say the papers are brighter than EEM.

What have you found gives you the best results for those selected 
papers that you listed?

I will use that as a starting point and try to save some money.
