Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul, John, Elwood,

HMMM, very interesting.  Found some conflicting information regarding
suitability for pigment.  Latest info on Epson site shows it
recommended for R2400 (K3 pigment inks) in certain sizes and the R1800
and R800 Gloss pigment ink set.  But no mention of the 4000 or 4800
???? Seems weird that it would be okay with the 2400, but not the
standard UC ink set.  

I'm only using the paper with for B&W with QTR and BO prints, and so
far it looks quite good.  Guess I'll keep experimenting.  Certainly
seems like a no-brainer substitute for EEM for proofing, but as Elwood
points out, caution advised for sales prints.

Thanks guys,

Tony
