bleed

2001-08-27 by kurtstier@yahoo.com

I am sure this problem has been addressed before, but I am 
new here and haven't read everything on the site. I was printing 
on an Iris machine for a number of years before moving to Paris 
and having to leave my machine behind. Now I have an Epson 
1270 and am trying to print on Arches hotpress, at the moment, 
with standard epson inks. I have no trouble getting the correct 
tone in my B&W, but I can't get a clean edge. Is there a solution 
to this problem? My transform tables from the Iris will not 
translate to the Epson. Any suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated.

Kurt,

Arches hotpress is not coated for inkjet, so the Epson inks bleed. Is that the 
situation - or am I misinterpreting what you said? I don't think it's about 
transform tables, rather about using a coated paper - of which there are many 
that resemble the Arches (including I believe one made by Arches - but I am 
not sure).

PS: Since you are new to the list, if you decide to have your name instead of 
your email  appear in the author  column, here is how to do it. Go to our files 
section  > List-related matters > "Your name instead of a partial email address 
on posts". It gives you the details there. 

While you are in the files, you may also look up some paper data that may be 
helpful...
