Digital BW, The Print

Hi Miriam,
I noticed your post on the BW site regarding printing postcards on  
your 2200. I have done this often, both on the 2200 and the R2400  
using Moab Entrada double sided paper.
http://www.moabpaper.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=37
I use one Photoshop file with two layers, printing it twice - first  
for the image layer, then the text layer while reinserting the paper  
flipped.  Practice on a scrap to get your orientation.  Christmas  
before last I printed 100 each 8x10's of an image of snow in 1939 at  
the Burbank Studios with the caption and archival info on back  to  
give to our clients.

Hope this helps.

John

Hello John,

Thanks for your answering my post. I went to the web site and noticed
that they recommend advanced ink sets for the Entrada 300. I use
regular Epson ink. Will this work? I am not concerned with archival
quality. I am interested in a weight similar to a 14 pt. stock paper.
Do you know which is closest to this - 190 or 300 weight paper? Also,
I would like to write a note on the back of my cards. Have you ever
done this?

Sincerely,

Miriam
