With 2200 and UT7 and Entrada I've never had artificial "grain" or problem with excess ink at default settings. I do have other complaints about Entrada. (Note that ink control has to do with coating, not thickness of paper) I'm quitting Entrada for HPR because Entrada seems prone to microbanding. That microbanding always vanishes overnight. Also, Entrada seems to have very faintly less detail resolution than Kayenta (nominally Entrada's "proofing" paper, now called LaSal). Both factoids (test for yourselves) suggest Entrada absorbs ink slowly, and both should minimize grain rather than exaggerate it. That "test strip" looks a lot like a Nikonscan of silver B&W film... if that's what we're seeing the problem might be in the scan. EEM has reportedly gone through some changes recently but I'm mystified why Epson's still using the name (rather than "Enhanced Matte Ultra" etc), given the history of yellowing. John
