Digital BW, The Print

Colin,

I hope the VM inkset works as good for you as it has for me.  Nothing is
perfect, of course.

>... bought an 1160 ...

You're lucky to have found one.

>Does anyone have any tips for good papers to use with the VM inks?

Be sure to try Epson Archival Matte -- a standard smooth surface image to
compare others to;  Legion Photo Matte -- very cool paper tone. I'm
beginning to think the medium warm curve with this paper is an interesting
combination; Eclipse Satine -- favored by many;  Museo -- some texture and
non-yellowing paper; and Somerset Enhanced -- some texture and a warm look
that is great for reproducing old photos with the warmth people like in
those.  You can get somewhat better results with a transfer function profile
I have for this one.

Enjoy.
