My guess is that it is incompatible because that it only comes in 17x22 sheets or rolls 16" and wider. If you were to put in the Epson profile for the semi matte(if you could even get it), the print driver for the 2400 would say that it is incompatible because it knows that profile is for the X800 printers. That is why I suggested using the "premium luster" profile. Or, if you can, make your own profile. What I ordered from Hawk Mountain looks IDENTICAL to the epson semi matte,(at a GREAT price) so much so that I ordered 3 different sizes. One of which is 13x19. You can't do that with the epson! Although I haven't had a chance to print anything yet(the order just came today), but when I do, I'm going to do a color and a B&W using the epson profiles to see how close they come to the previous ones done on EPSM. After that I intend to make my own profiles and utilize QTR for B&W. And I did make the B&W(on EPSM) with epsons' ABW KeithR --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "how786" <how786@...> wrote: > > I could not get that paper to work on my 2400.
