Re: Epson Hot Press Natural

2010-04-17 by Jon

As for telling which is the print side, I find (as stated in the Epson insert) that the paper flexes or curls less when held with the print side up. It's not always easy to tell, but I hold the sheet with the middle on the side of my hand (like a knife edge or fulcrum) & it will bend less when the print side is up. To try to 'draw ' a picture with ASCII characters:

      <--- long direction --->
   _____________________________________
  /                                    / 
 /                                    /   <-- the sheet
/____________________________________/
                 |  }
                 | / <---- my hand
                 |/


If the print side is down, then the sheet will bend more.

I realize that, being coated 2 sides, it may be printable either side. Still, it does curl or bend more when one side is up.
