Re: [Digital BW] epson ultra premium?

2005-12-29 by Douglas meeuwsen

hmmmm....I use the pr. semi gloss setting for pr. semi-matte, and it  
works fine for ABW, and so-so for color, but I did not have a  
profile.....I used pr. golssy setting for the ultra, and it looked  
great. Did not try color, and have not gotten a color profile yet. It  
is not really as glossy as premium glossy, but it is a better  
smoother, more uniform gloss. Less plastic looking. The print are a  
slightly diferent color than pr.Glossy. Maybe a bit warmer, or maybe  
more neutral from the shadows to the highlights. They definitle look  
better.

I think the paper is brand new in last few months. I went to the  
epson site, and you are right that they dont have it listed forthe  
2400. they have it listed for the 1800. Might it be because they dont  
have a profile for the combination yet? The gloss diferential is  
about perfect on the small number of images that i tried.
Interesting.....Doug M
