The 2400 will print on premium luster (along with velvet fine art, my favorite Epson paper) or premium semigloss with no bronzing. You might see a bit of bronzing on premium glossy. Paul On Mar 24, 2007, at 3:54 PM, David J Brooks wrote: > So i played around again to day. Rainy and s>>>ty so w

I have to agree with Godders. I used ColorSynch for quite a while, but after reading Godfrey's post about color managed workflow, I switched to that method. It does provide better results, particularly when printing BW. The Epson paper profiles are very refined. I had some problems getting
