Re: 1280 B/O printing on Red River Aurora...?

2004-09-27 by m87507

Yes Clayton it is the Aurora Art...yes am printing on the coated 
side, and 
using a 50' roll (24" x 50'), so the paper has a curl to it going 
into the printer, although that shouldn't matter...I tried the b/o 
settings you suggest, which work wonderfully on the other papers, 
but it just isn't 'right' on this substrate. Banding, foggy details, 
slightly off of what it should be. Maybe a bad batch of paper? Is 
this unheard of? Or is this just a tricky paper to work with?
