Re: Why use PhotoRag paper and what dot gain to set for the printer

2004-04-06 by spersky123

Thanks for the reply,

Clayton,

I have been getting great results from the advice on your web site 
for Epson EEM with a dot gain of 20% and printer set "Same as Source"

For the papers that you listed what have you found to be the best dot 
gain for the printer.  Assuming you leave the source as 20% dot gain.

1) H. Photorag
2) Hawk Mtn Merlin Satin
3) Hawk Mtn Condor BW

I appreciate all your advice.  I have modeled my current setup 
exactly like yours described on your site and the results are just 
amazing.  You should have a workshop:)

I know I should experiment with the papers to figure out the best 
WYSIWG results, but damn that paper is expensive.  I just spent about 
200 dollars for the total samples you recommended.

Thanks
Steve
