Digital BW, The Print

Hi,
I bought a box of Photo Rag 308 and this morning did my first prints with it.

I'm not getting anywhere near the detail or the solid blacks I get with the Epson HWM and wondered if anyone could offer advice on how to get the best out of this paper. (I suppose it is the rougher surface which is the main cause of the difference I am seeing between the two papers.)

I'm using UT inks on an Epson 1200.

many thanks,
Richard

Richard,

Make sure you are printing on the right side.

If in doubt, try a print on the other side of the
paper.  It should be pretty comparable to EHM.

Hi,
thanks a lot. I got the shop to cut half the box down to A4 size and they must have put it back in tbe box upside down. 

I did a print and it came out beautifully.
