I found a new Epson R220 at a Ritz Camera here in town and picked it up last Friday. My MIS inks showed up yesterday and I did a BO print of a waterfalll that looks just great. I had been using a C86 with the neutral inks and the full ink prints looked a little on the cool side to me and the BO prints had slight horizontal banding. So I was looking for a R220 and when I found it I ordered the R2W warm inkset. The warm inkset print is way too warm for my tastes so I may order the correct neutral inks so I can to variable tone printing. OR I could just do BO printing which was my plan from the start. The BO print is on EEM and looks great but is just a bit too warm for my tastes. Is there a cooler mat paper so I can stick with BO printing. The BO print seems to glow and I really like the look. I'm just wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a slightly cool, a neutral paper and a slightly warm archival paper. That way I can stick with BO printing and use the paper to control the tone. Thanks, Scott
