Re: 1280 Driver for 1270- Has Anyone Here Done It ?

2004-05-07 by wolarsky

The 1270 with Eboni UT2 produced good results with matte papers, but 
unacceptable artifacts with glossy-type papers. What I've found is 
that a major advance is the ability to use semi-gloss and pearl 
papers. The increase in dMax produces prints which are significantly 
closer to traditional silver prints. While many prints look fine on 
matte paper, some images really benefit from the increased tonal 
range of glossy-type papers.
