Digital BW, The Print

Scott you addressed to Lou but since I kind off started the thread
I'll answer for my part
> 
> Which Kirkland version (Swiss., Japan, old Swiss.?)

Swiss (I have no idea how to tell old from new Swiss this paper is
Costco SKU #26352)

 
> What printer and ink are you using?

Canon i960 with Canon ink AND Epson 890 with Epson ink


> Are the lines dark or light ?

My lines are not really lines but more of a .250 wide scuff or very
very light smear type look
 
> How many lines? One area or the whole print?

On the Canon the line appear only in one line approx. 1.25" from the
right side of a 6 X 9" print centered on a 85. X 11" pc of paper

On the Epson the first print had a lot of lines spaced about like the
rollers but NOT exactly. Across the width of the print. On the Epson
last two prints I made the line was down two one in the same basic
position as the Canon prints but down to less then .125" wide and a
little lighter in depth?

Yes the lines are verticle and oppistite of the way the printers heads
travel.

The smears lines scuffs what ever are so light that you have to have a
strong light source to see then and then only can they be seen while
looking across the print like you were looking for bronzing (which
there is none I can see.


Hope this gives you an idea I tried scanning them but no way they
would show on a monitor so that is a moot idea.

I really really like the look and if this clears up I'll be super
happy with the paper so far.
