Re: new papers (Silver Rag, Innova, 'Muhle) and BO printing?

Oh, blush.

Have you tried any of these papers on your 2200? With the original UC 
PK inks, you are likely to see more gloss differential. In spirit of 
full disclosure, the K3 PK ink is ever so slightly "green-warm" while 
UC PK is "brown-warm".
