Re: epson ultrasmooth paper/ink and QTR

2005-02-02 by tariqgibranstudio

Epson UltraSmooth is a matte paper and will give you a deeper black if you use Matte black 
ink.  Semimatte and luster are RC based and require PHoto black ink as the matte black 
will rub right off.  Use the matte setting in QTR with UltraSmooth.
