Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul,
I hope you could help clarify some confusuion that I have.
I read on your website that the 1270 is not recommended for glossy
printing.    Is it because of the fact that it cannot print at 
2880dpi or some other reason?  I mostly print from Photoshop 7,
currently own a 1280 and seriously thinking about getting a second 
printer for B&W.
regards, Opus

Opus,

The output I saw from a 1270 on glossy even at 1440 was not as good as that
from the 1280 at 1440.  The matte output looked fine, but I thought the
glossy output was just too rough.  I suspect Epson improved the dither
pattern between the 2 printers.

I got good results on the 1270 with UT2 using QuadToneRIP.  I did both
matte and glossy paper profiles, but I don't use glossy very much.
