I am printing my B/W witht the Epson 2200 and the UT7 inks and would like to know what papers the group would suggest for best results and where to get them. I have been using my R1800 for my color prints with the K3 inks and would like to hear your reconmendations on paper and sources for that printer also. Thank you in advance for your knowledge and wisdom. Kurt

The answer about what papers are best depends, in part, on whether you are profiling these papers or you intend to use pre-made profiles. I have some notes about the papers at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/UT-2200-Readme.htm . However, these may not be what I'd use today if I wanted to go through the process of making a new profile.

Thank you for the information! I have never made the profiles before. Is it easy to do? Kurt

The full curves are difficult for most. It depends, I think, on how much you're used to using graphs and curves. If they come easily to you and you have a spectro, it's not so bad. The easiest way to move to a new paper is to find the existing curve that gives the best tone and is reasonably linear, then use Create ICC-RGB (part of the QTR download) to do a final linearization and embed the curve in that ICC. It makes a very nice workflow. See http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/Embedding_Photoshop_Curves_in_ICCs.pdf Paul www.PaulRoark.com ___________________
