Tried the Bamboo, Godfrey. Very nice. Totally agree about the warmer bw
quality--very nice. Had no problem with Hahnemuhle ICC profile and had no
problem with feeding papers on the R2880--though the paper does have a kind
of after-print curl on two edges. Also tried the Velvet Fine Art paper
with color--wow--like it very much--Epson ICC profiles working just fine now
too--printed up some portraits on Epson Luster using ICC profiles--nicely
improved over my original print settings--glad I got the ICC stuff
sorted--Wow, really, really like the Velvet Fine Art paper for color--it's
nice. Thanks for all the tips. Cheers, Christine

Christina,
Be warned:
I have had issues feeding both the Hahnemühle Photo Rag Smooth 308gsm
and Bamboo papers with the R2400. They're lovely papers ... a little
softer rendering than the Epson Velvet Fine Art with a warmer color
and a smoother surface texture, but they often prove to be frustrating
to me.
I've gotten best results using the Epson Ultrasmooth Fine Art setting
in the driver with them, and use the Hahnemühle ICC profiles. I like
them particularly for warm-toned B&W work. The Velvet Fine Art's
cooler base tone gives more pop for color work, IMO.

Thanks, Godfrey. I plan to buy some paper tomorrow! Cheers, Christine
Hahnemühle's documentation is what's important in this case.
I've used their Photo Rag Smooth 308gsm mostly, with the R2400.
