Best Epson 3800 settings for Entrada Rag Natural?

Best Epson 3800 settings for Entrada Rag Natural?

2008-03-26 by slcphoto73

I am new to the 3800 and to Entrada Natural Rag. What are the best
Epson Advanced B&W driver settings for this printer/paper? 

 - media choice
 - paper thickness for 190 and 300 thicknesses
 - platen gap
 - dark or normal?

Or any other settings you have found useful.

Thanks, susan

Thanks, I know that fabulous, incredibly informative Web site. But all
he has about Entrada is his profile (USFA, 2880, normal darkness) -
nothing about paper thickness or platen gap, and no comment about why
he chose USFA instead of the recommended watercolor radiant white. So
I am looking for advice from others who use this paper on this printer.

If you read the overview all the settings are there. Thickness, platen
gap and anything else you will need to set. I have used his workflow
and produced some stunning B&W prints
