Epson Pemium Glossy Photo Paper vs. Epson Glossy Photo Papers

2005-01-27 by guy_staley

Do these two papers print differently? In Paul's data, he states that Epson 
Glossy Photo Paper prints with NO bronzing. Is this also true of the Premium 
Glossy Paper? Is there a better glossy(ish) paper for use with the UT7 inkset? 

Also, what are peoples opinions of these papers as far as print quality and 
Dmax? I am printing with MIS UT7 inks. Should I be using the PK with glossy 
papers? Does the Epson PK provide better Dmax?

I've been (silver)printing for years on Ilford Gallerie paper
(typically grade 2 or 3), then dilute selenium toning for increased Dmax. That is 
the look I love: That is the standard I am trying to approach digitally. Am I 
completely dreaming and wasting my time?

I know all these issues have been covered here, but it's a little hard to decipher 
people's opinions as the info I'm seeking is so scattered, and the Yahoo 
Groups search engine leaves a lot to be desired(!).

Honestly, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed trying to get a handle on all this digital 
printing stuff. I feel like a gradeschooler in college!

Thanks much for any help.

Sincerely,
