Digital BW, The Print

Paul,
The Epson prod-id for Professional Glossy is S041456; it's 13x19, the only 
size in sheets that's available. There are also 24" and 48" rolls (S041388 and 389) 
which go under a different name "Glossy Paper (Photo Weight)" but are said to be 
the same paper -- I've only used the sheets so far, so I can't vouch for the identity 
of sheets and rolls. If you check the Epson site for these papers, you'll find them 
under 'Graphic Arts' rather than 'Glossy Papers' or 'Photo Papers'. 
All the naming confusion becomes  a very endurable hassle after seeing how this 
paper prints. I share Robert's enthusiasm for it.
John

  Robert,

  Do you have a product number and/or place at Atlex (or Epson) where they
  describe the Epson Pro Glossy?  I see a roll of "Photo Glossy Paper," #
  SP91021, but I don't see the "Pro Glossy."

  I hope that the existing vm curves will print on this paper like the other
  Epson papers.

  Atlex has it...but it is much more expensive than the Ilford...if you buy
  the Ilford in quantity...that is now my standard proofing paper.  The Epson
  Pro Glossy is lighterweight than the Ilford, but has a surface much more
  like a silver paper than anything else I've seen...it is also rated for
  longevity, unlike the photo paper...which is even lighter still.

  Actually I was referring to using your curves with the epson driver...from
  what you've said above I take it that they worked relatively well.
