Most likely. Epson's glossy paper profile is designed for Premium Glossy surface. > Oh, the enhanced matte, i have not seen it in stores in the area, but > is'nt the name changed or am i thinking of something elase. I standardized on matte surface papers and Matte Black ink when I got the R2400. I did recently buy a package of Epson Premium Luster to see what the surface looked like, but haven't installed Photo Black ink yet to test with. I've printed to Epson Enhanced Matte, Epson Velvet Fine Art, Hahnemühle Fine Art Photo Rag (Smooth), and Somerset Enhanced Velvet. That last is virtually identical to the Epson VFA except for the paper coating: lovely stuff, my favorite so far. I hate the way they keep changing names. Epson Enhanced Matte is now Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Matte, Heayweight Matte is now Premium Presentation Matte. Velvet Fine Art remains Velvet Fine Art for the present. If they keep this up, I'm likely to go to a third party paper source just to keep from getting confused. Ink consumption: yesterday I made about 50 A3 size prints, image size an average of 11x14" coverage, on Epson Enhanced Matte. That's consumed about 3/4 of a set of ink cartridges. Regards charging the cartridges after changing, you press the ink button to move the tanks to where you can change carts, change them, and then it cycles and charges the heads when you press the button again. No need to do it every time you turn on the printer. Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
