Digital BW, The Print

John,

For a possible 2200 wheel mark remedy, see
http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/2200wh.html.

By the way, the latest Swiss made Kirkland glossy is holding a huge 1.4 dmax
with Epson UC PK in the C86.  I haven't tested MIS PK yet.  (Oddly in the
7500 MIS PK does better than UC PK.  Which does better seems to vary by
paper and printer and who knows what other factors.)

The latest Swiss Kirkland glossy has a bit more texture than Epson Premium
Glossy, but it's very close to it.  It also does have the buffered interior
paper.  So, also in that respect, I think it is basically an improved Epson
Premium Glossy Photo paper.

Subject: [Digital BW] B&W Printing with Costco/Kirkland Glossy Paper



After reading about the Costco Kirkland gloss paper in the group, I 
have been printing B&W proofs with my Epson 2200 printer loaded with 
MIS UT7 inks (with Eboni black).  

In PS CS Print with Preview, the Source Space is Adobe RGB (1998) and 
in the Print Space I use a profile for SP2100 Premium Semi-Gloss 
paper.  In the printer Media Type I selected Epson matte paper since 
the recommended paper setting (premium semi-gloss) was not available 
with the Eboni ink in the printer.  In the Mode/Custom/Advanced/Color 
Management, selected no color adjustment.  I printed the image 
without applying any Paul Roark curves and the resulting image looked 
like a slightly warm, glossy silver print!  The print did not have 
excessive bronzing in the shadows.  I was indeed impressed.  I 
thought I had found the right printing process to produce good B&W 
digital prints.  But there is one problem.  I'm seeing roller
tracks 
across the print as it moves through the printer.  Apparently the MIS 
UT7 inks are not drying fast enough on the glossy paper or the 
printer is laying down too much ink for the selected paper. 

I changed the ink to Photo Black and selected Premium Semi-Gloss 
paper in the printer media type in the event there was a conflict 
between PS CS and the printer, but the roller tracks remain in the 
print.   

When I print with the Epson color inks, no roller tracks.

Has anyone encountered this problem?   Is there any way to reduce the 
roller pressure on the paper? 

Thanks,
John
