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

2006-01-24 by Shilesh Jani

Hello Jo,

I must ask this: have you printed a b/w photograph with the 2200 
using either the Epson driver or QTR? If so, what do you find lacking 
in the prints? If it is bronzing, then you can spray the prints.

One we know what your exact needs, we can help you further.
