Harvey,

Epson 9000 prints can be made on uncoated papers. However, depending on the
paper and the profile, not all will be successful. I have a 10000 with
Photographic Dyes. I profile the inks and print on a large variety of
papers. Some coated papers such and the Hanemuhle papers are designed to
successfully print dyes and pigments.

There are no definite rules here. To say that "Its the pigment inks that
*need* to be printed on coated papers to
get acceptable results, not dye based inks that the Epson 9000 is designed
to print with." Is not 100% true. I have had great success printing MIS
piggies on uncoated and well profiled papers.
