Digital BW, The Print

Hi,

I recently bouth the following package from MIS:
Epson Premium glossy paper;
GP Inks (Black Universal and Colors cartridge).

Anyone knows the correct settings with Photoshop 
to use this package with my Epson 1290 printer?
Some weeks ago I asked to MIS which promised to me to update the 
profile library settings page, but I'm always waiting for it.

Many thanks,
Emiliano

A bit off topic for a b&w list, but I'm using the MIS archival GP inks
printing on Epson ProSemigloss using a custom profile from
www.cathysprofiles.com ($40) and extremely satisfied. 

Spend some money for a real monitor calibration device and get a
custom profile made for your ink / paper / printer combo and realize
how automatic color is.

There is a real lesson, you can't do "great" color the way you do b&w,
only good color with no problems. But it sure is a lot better than
medicore color (which sucks)

Dear Bob,

I appreciate very much your tips. Many, many thanks.
From now and on I'll respect the topic of this newsgroup. 
Let me, however, ask to you these two last questions:
I use Spyder2 to calibrate my monitor. I'll buy a customized profile 
from cathys. Then I'll have no more need to set the printer in 
Photoshop (like 1440 dpi, No color adjustment etc.)? If not, is it 
true I must set  Photo Quality Glossy Film to use Premium Glossy 
Paper with my Epson 1290 ?

Buy, Emiliano
