Re: Can one make a decent print on Photo Rag with the 3800?

2008-09-06 by the_des_bois

Can I use this thread to ask a question I have never found a specific
answer to?

It relates to the media settings, discussed here in part.

Is there an article or a book that would describe what the Epson media
settings really do? I know they influence ink load in some way,
probably dither pattern... but this is all guessing and testing for
me. I know they (except for the 3800) related to specific profiles.
But how do they relate?

Many questions I have, few answers I have found. I am sure many people
are in the same darkness as I am...

Thanks for any reading suggestions or direct help!
