Digital BW, The Print

"Since I've got the printer for a while yet, I'd welcome any B/W related 
questions..."

If you have a heavyweight paper that requires use of the rear paper feed 
(single sheet) I'd be interested in knowing whether you encounter any 
feeding problems. I use Moab Entrada Natural Fine Art with the Epson paper 
setting that Moab recommends. With that setting the printer tells me I have 
to use the rear single-sheet feed.

Lately I've been having a lot of trouble getting the printer to accept the 
paper when I load it from the rear single-sheet feed. I keep getting a 
message that says the paper is incorrectly loaded and to remove the paper 
and try again. Sometimes it takes five or six tries before the printer will 
accept the paper. Since I load it the same way every time it's hard to 
figure out why it works on the second, third, or fourth try and not on the 
previous ones. I haven't yet reached the point of being sufficiently 
aggravated to call Epson but if you (or anyone else here) encounter a 
similar problem and/or a suggested solution I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Subject: [Digital BW] 3800 B/W


I've been looking at B/W on the 3800, after being loaned one by Epson for a 
review

Using QTR linearising profiles to tweak the ABW mode, I have to say I was
mightily impressed by the tone and depth of B/W images on the Epson
media I was trying out.

I've written up some info:
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/reviews/printer/epson_sp_3800.html

One or two prints on Epson EEM that I'd never been totally happy with, using
ImagePrint on a 9600, printed out just how I wanted them.
This is both good news and bad... ;-)

Since I've got the printer for a while yet, I'd welcome any B/W related 
questions...

In the original review I just used Epson media, but I've quite a few boxes 
of
other paper that might be worth trying, now I've got the main article out of
the way...

bye for now
