Digital BW, The Print

It's been a while since I used the C86, but recollection is that Silver Rag
fed OK on my C86 - probably with an assist.  I think, however, I was having
trouble with head strikes on the edges of the curled paper.  The Innova FB
is a bit flatter, so that might be a better choice.

Subject: [Digital BW] Silver Rag on Epson C8x? Matte on R260 with QTR?

 

I'm extremely pleased with glossy prints from my C86. I'm using MIS
ink and Paul Roark's ICC curves. Thanks, Paul!

The only thing missing from my results is better archivalness. Will
Silver Rag (or similar weight glossy archival paper) feed into an
Epson C8x? I don't mind hand-holding the paper and feeding one sheet
at a time.

Thanks,
Mitch

PS - I'm encouraged by recent developments with the R260/QTR and
refillable carts. I was never entirely satisfied with matte output on
my C86.
