I'll ask you the same question I asked Helene, why do you prefer 
these papers? And what media settings do you use in the Epson driver? 

Thanks,

THey are all high quality, thick papers that look very nice for fine art
prints.  The Hahnemuhle papers have deeper blacks than almost any other
papers. I use the Heavyweight matte setting, with a 1280 printer. You
might also try photo inkjet paper and see which one you like best. If
you like really white paper, Eclipse is the only one of the mentioned
that is really white.  You also might try legion's photo matte if you
like a smooth, superwhite paper. Eclipse can be printed on both sides,
one is smooth, one has a light texture.  THe VM black is NOT black
enough for satisfying prints.  Use the Generations 4 Enhanced Black with
the other VM inks for great blacks.

Ahh, so! Can I simply replace the ink bottle since I'm using a CFS 
cart? 

Thanks for your help,
