Re: Bronzing for Various Glossy / Luster Papers R800 / R1800

2009-11-06 by Terry

I've added an 8th paper to my list.

Inkjetart Micro Ceramic Luster (250gsm, 10.4mil) 30/35 no bronzing on the R800 / R1800 std Epson Inks

I understand this paper is no longer available.

Any comments on this data?

Thanks, Terry

I now see why so many posts here regarding the amount of Gloss and or spray required to reduce the bronzing on the PK ink for glossy/luster papers on the R800 / R1800 printers and especially the Epson Luster.  All were printed 2880, uni-directional, and adaptive-hybird on my R1800.
