Digital BW, The Print

The following paper profiles are "Greyed Out" in the printer ABW dialoque box with either Mk 
or Pk inks:  "Vevet Fine Art Paper", "Water Color Paper - Rad. White", and "Ultra Smooth fine 
Art," therefore, are not accessible.  However, they do show in Print Preview (PS CS) profile 
box.

I have a MAC G4, PS CS, firewire connection.

Any ideas?

Martin

Check the maintenance tab to make sure that the MK is shown as 
installed.  And also check the paper feed (source, e.g., "sheet") in 
the Epson driver.  For example, VFA will not show up if "sheet" is 
selected, etc.

  Done that.

That was it!  I will check Clayton's VFA settings and see the results of printing with that 
profile.

Thanks

That is strange.  A warning comes up about roll paper.  I hit "ignore" and
the VFA media setting stays there.  I hope I'm getting the correct profile.

I am on a MAC, where is "ignore," when it states "Load this paper....."  Then, can you still load 
the EEM paper on the front slot?

Thanks, 
Martin

I start with "sheet" paper as the source.  When I hit "Velvet Fine Art" (or
UltraSmooth or Watercolor) a box pops up that is labeled, "Manual - Roll
Required."  It has 2 buttons on it: "OK" and "Ignore."  I just hit "Ignore,"
the box disappears, and I continue to use the top feed tray and print as
usual.  The box is just a warning regarding potential feed problems with
thicker papers.

I'm just testing EEM to see what works best, so I don't know how bad the
thicker papers feed.  I assume for now that it's the same as the older
printers.

The MAC print box does not have that option.  You have to select "manual - roll" before the 
VFA setting shows and there does not seem to have an "ignore" option.  

Any MAC users with the same problem?

The 2400 is a much more finicky beast than the 2200 was.  It takes
more finesse to get it to accept a thicker paper.  I find that just
the barest weight of a finger is best, just enough to get it into the
slot where it can be grabbed (also helps if a thicker paper is bent a
little bit concave).  Push a bit to much and it just spits it out the
front.  Sort of like this printer is from Paris, where the 2200 was
from Buffalo.

Regards,
Clayton

This is like my driver on the PC--I have no "ignore," and I have to 
feed the VFA through the top, rearmost slot.  The printer will report 
no media if I try to use another slot with VFA selected as the paper.
