Re: [Digital BW] Re: New beginning - Epson C88

Marcin -

I have not used Photo Rag - I print in enough quantity that I know I 
couldn't afford to use it (I just made about 1,000 8x10 prints for the 
2006 Christmas books that I gave to family members last year - an annual 
tradition for more than 20 years - so I tend to look at the less 
expensive papers.) But I've always heard good things about HPR.  Be 
aware that the C84 and C88 (not "plus") printers that I've used did NOT 
do well feeding heavy papers from a stack in the feed tray.  Don't buy a 
large quantity of the HPR until you've tried it and find that it both 
looks good and feeds well through your printer.

If you are in the US, Epson has (at least they had a month or so ago) 
refurbished C88s for $59 delivered. 

Welcome to the world of black and white digital printing.  Hope you 
enjoy it as much as I have.

Cheers,
Kip
