Epson K3 inks and Advanced B&W mode

2006-10-11 by cynthiam_in_fl

This my my first post in this group.  I have been lurking and 
receiving the digest for awhile, but now it's time to take the 
plunge.

I just started using an Epson r2400 printer and have some questions 
about using the advanced B&W mode.  Before I go through more ink, 
paper and time, I thought it might be cost-effective to ask here.  
It would be helpful to know if people have found any settings to be 
consistent with certain papers; in particular, Epson Enhanced Matte, 
Watercolor Radiant, Velvet Fine Art, Ultrasmooth Fine Art, and 
Semigloss.

If you are using these papers with the r2400 or any of the other K3 
printers, could you please post for each paper:
-the media type setting (especially if it's not the same as the 
paper)
-print quality
-ink density
and on the settings page:
-tone (light, normal, dark, darker or darkest)
-horizontal and vertical adjustments on the color wheel
-other adjustments that you have found helpful.

Thank you
