Ink Limits and Epson Settings

2008-01-14 by robert49brake

This also seems a good place to ask the following question.  Does anyone have a key to the 
rankings (in terms of ink loads) in the various Epson settings?  I know there are differently 
named settings for different printers but there must be some logical progression to the ink 
loads. (An analogy to this question is that it took me months online to discover that Best 
Photo simply meant 1440 dpi and Photo RPM meant 2880)

 I wonder, for example,  about sometimes using gloss settings on matte papers (switching 
chips if necessary) in order to cut down ink loads.  Since there are so many settings and one 
doesn't know if they get progressively lighter or heavier or are listed in random order, you 
can blow through a lot of time and paper looking for the right inkload.

I've asked this question in other forums without any luck, any info here...?
