RE: [Digital BW] Epson Scapbook Matte for 98 cents?

2005-07-03 by Ken Carney

Scott,

Nope.  I think anything for sale at CompUSA for 98c would be snapped up
immediately, even if the purchaser didn't know what it was.  As I recall the
paper was OK with the 2200, and IP had a profile for it.  But I don't think
it was as good as PhotoRag or EEM. I think inkjetart.com billed it as a
"basic" paper.  I've tried BO printing, but a lot of my photos are not
wanting for grain in the first place, so I'm not sure I want to add more!

Best regards,
