Re: [Digital BW] QTR + Win 2000 + Epson 1280

2004-12-28 by Roy Harrington

There aren't any 1280 profiles for Epson (Glossy) Photo Paper.  However there are
some for the 1270.   The printers are very similar but not identical.  So I'd
recommend trying two different methods and seeing which you like better:

1)  Load the 1270 profiles and copy the EPhotoPaper profiles from the 
     Quad1270 folder into the Quad1280 folder.
2)  Use the EPremiumLuster profiles that are already for the 1280.
