Re: [Digital BW] Levels of gloss

2005-05-09 by Douglas meeuwsen

I use the c86 for color prints of snapshots, and it works great but 
only on cheap epson glossy paper. All the other papers seem to have an 
incorrect color management issue going on. Even the durabrite glossy 
paper seems wrong. (all the papers are too blue) The cheap epson glossy 
paper looks perfect though. That is on a mac, with apple color 
management, using all the right media settings etc. in the epson 
driver. If you are using mis EZ inks, do you have two of these 
printers? One for Mono, and one for color?
I also forgot to say that the gloss of kirkland is cut down a lot when 
you spray with print shield. That may do the trick for you. Kirkland 
plus spray is pretty nice if you dont mind the extra step.
