Re: [Digital BW] OS-X, Eboni and RC papers

2004-04-29 by Carl Schofield

Steve,

Assuming you have Eboni in the K position slot, it doesn't matter which  
media type you select for printing BO to semi-gloss or other RC papers  
because the ink is just sitting on top of the surface.  I used the  
Enhanced matte setting, but it really doesn't matter which you choose.   
You must of course spray with PrintShield later.
