Epson R200 vs R220: in Black Only mode, which printer does matt, glossy, or both

2006-08-14 by paulmwhiting

I'd like to try Black Only printing on both kinds of paper, before I
plunge into hextone printing ... but I wonder if the R220 does both
matt and glossy. I'm told the 220 will only do BO in matt, not glossy.
Will the R200 do both? I was told in an e-mail that the R220 will not
do glossy but I'd like to throw my question out to the group just to be
sure. (I'm not questioning the sender of that e-mail... but in the
confusion of getting my new membership up and running in this group I
want to be sure... can't find that e-mail!)

I realize there are two BO carts available from MIS...one for matt and
one for gloss. But my question centers around the Epson driver, and
which paper(s) the driver menu allows.

TIA all,

Paul
