Re: Printing On Gloss...Possible with Digital B&W?

2006-01-23 by Joanne Emerson

Hello everyone, I'm back from out of town.

I can see there's been much discussion about printing b&w on glossy 
media while I've been away. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if anyone 
has answered my question. Yes,I could purchase a 2400 printer, but 
until I do, I'm stuck with this 2200 using QTR or Epson drivers. I'm 
just looking for the best possible solution. Will the UT7 inks give 
me reduced bronzing? Must I also use a GLOP? I'd like to learn more 
about this since printing on glossy or semi glossy media is the 
industry standard for what I do. Finding a solution is becoming 
quite complex and I'm starting to feel like a really dumb broad, so 
please be patient with me.

Have a good day!
Joanne
