Re: HELP printing Black & White on epson 1280 printer

2008-07-31 by Paul Whiting

Hello, Paul, I'm a little confused. I thought these two papers
contained no OBA's. (and is that actually Premier Art Smooth 205, not
200?) At least I think that was what I gathered from your "white paper"
on non-OBA papers. Perhaps I read it wrong...)

[off-topic but: I finally got my R1800 going, using your 3MK approach.
I've got MIS clear in the other five slots. Finally figured out how to
use QTR rip, and paid my dues. Happy with results so far, using some
Moab Kayenta I had around. I want to thank you for helping me get
started!]
