Digital BW, The Print

Lara,

The media types are not necessary what the driver calls for.  On the 1160
Matte Paper Heavyweight was the one that is specified for most papers.
Also, do not use any paper profiles in the "Print with Preview."  The Gray
Gamma should be 2.2, in the past I used sRGB (more modern inkset curves are
all Adobe 1998), and the print space should be same as source.

Hope this helps.

Yep, that is what I was doing.

I figure i have something set wrong, just can't figure out what it is. In
Printer Settings what 
do I use? The profile for the paper and????

I was using EM, but was going to try the Museo just to see what happens. But
mostly EM, 
or Velvet or even Radiant White.
