Re: Epson R220 BO driver problem?

2006-04-19 by Brian Chapman

Hey Clayton - thanks for the info!

Where on the cool/warm scale is the EEM paper?  (embarassingly, 
that's all I've tried so far)  In comparison to the neutral 
continuous tone print the BO option is significantly warmer but it 
would be interesting to know where it falls in comparison to BO 
prints on the two papers you mentioned below (Kayenta and WM. 
Turner).

I showed a couple prints to one of my friends (one BO and the other 
continuous tone) - and without giving any hints or anything, the 
first thing he commented on was the intensity of the blacks in the 
BO print!  Anyway, I thought that was interesting.    

Thanks, 
Brian
