Digital BW, The Print

My goal, Guhan, is to use the same - and few - matte (I don't like 
glossy) papers for color as for B&W (including BO). But my old 
printers died only recently. And I don't yet know enough about the 
2400 or the 200/220 to have any idea whether this is realistic even 
as a goal, much less in actual practice. If not, I hope someone will 
"wave me off" before I try to land on so simple a field.

Not that I mind your asking on this list, Guhan, especially since you 
started with "OT", but there's another Yahoo list, 
archivalcolor@yahoogroups.com, which Antonis, a founder of this list 
along with Martin, also started. It's never been as robust a list, 
but it's still alive and sometimes kicks. The only thread active on 
it right now is one about Lyson's ink sets. But I hope you'll start 
one about papers for archival color prints printed with the ink 
set(s) in which you (and I) are most interested. In about a week, I'm 
going away for a week, but I'll chip in there too as soon as I can. I 
hope other subscribers to this list will too.

Another possibility, if you're on a Mac, is the Mac Epson list, 
macepsonlist@yahoogroups.com, (what a surprise). It is quite general 
within the Mac context, but it is a nice, small, active list 
nevertheless.
