Paul, the Ilford Fine Art paper, is that a glossy mat?
Thanks for your help. Is the 6X7 getting a workout yet?

 I think Epson Professional Glossy is available in letter size, but not all
 stores stock it. MacWarehouse usually has a good supply of the various
paper
 types. You should also try Ilford Fine Art paper. So far, everyone on the
 list who has tried it falls inlove. It's fabulous stuff, and it seems to
work
 well with all the high end Epson and Canon printers. (You have a high end
 printer.) I think Wheatfield Willy is using the C80, so he may have some
 further observations. I'm still on the old Epson 1200, which is a
different
 ink type. (Very good print quality. Not so good print life.) Another
glossy
 paper that I've had success with is Ilfore Gallerie. However, I'm not sure
 how well it will work with the C80 inks. Kodak paper, btw, works fine on
the
 1200, but I'd probably take it back based on Maris' comments. I think he
has
 experience with your ink type.

   Hi Steve,
   Yep, it's a keeper. It's basically the same as the Epson 1280, save
for
   the maximum print size (81/2 width, I believe). That means it's
capable
   of producing truly photographic prints from a good scan. A happy

Hi Steve,
Ilford Fine Art Paper looks like watercolor paper. It's thick, textured, and it
leans toward the ivory. Prints are brilliant, rich, and deep. I don't think
there's anything out there that compares.
   It's snowing and cloudy in Michigan today, which is nice for Christmas
but not great for photography. However, I did shoot a roll of Fuji ISO 400
transparency film indoors with my 400T flash bouncing off the ceiling. (I had
only the LX cord for the strobe with it's two extra connectors, but I did have
a pc extension cord. So I was able to plug the 400T cable into the extension
cord. Then, of course, I could plug the extension cord into the 6x7. I mounted
the flash on a big stroboframe. It's quite a workout with all that equipment,
probably close to a 15  pound rig, but the stroboframe has a solid grip, and it
all feels pretty secure. Of course none of the five people I support will let
me take their picture, but I do have two dogs. They have to pose whether they
like it or not. So I shot a roll of dog pictures. Everything seems to work
nice. The camera is easy to focus even in dim room lighting. I'll bring the
film to the two-hour pro lab tomorrow and see what I have. But I'm liking it so
far. (Can't wait to scan some of those big transparencies and make some digital
prints -- on Ilford Fine Art Paper :-)
Happy printing,
Paul

Hi Paul, I`ll have to get some of that Ilford paper. It`s kind of chilly
here
too, 65 degrees ;) Sounds like you`re having fun with that new toy
and the 400T, I`d shoot those people anyway, but at least you`ll
have some good doggie pics. I envy your big negs! Aren`t the
400 speed films nice these days! I love the Provia 400F and the
Supra 400, they are heavenly. The 6X7 is nice to focus in dim light?,

Try the HP - it won't hurt the printer at all.  Let me know how it works out as I have

For satin paper I like Ilford Classic Pearl - a soft sheen and it works well with the

But you may need to tweak the colors or get a custom profile for it as I did.

 |  |  | To all a very Happy Holiday Season to you and yours!
 |  |  |
 |  |  | Is the printer in the subject line a good one? My wife (Santa)
 |  |  | surprised me with one this morning, she doesn`t know a lot
 |  |  | about printers (me either), so we ask the PDML collective,
 |  |  | can I keep it?

Hi Maris, thanks for sharing you knowledge, I appreciate it. I checked the
 Kodak website and the fine print on box, it doesn`t seem to say about
 dyes. I have some old HP photographic paper I`d like to try in the
 meantime, it won`t hurt the printer will it? I like satin paper too, not so
 much glare when mounted.

Hi Steve:
I have used HP photographic paper with my Epson printer, and the results
have as good as in the photos printed on Epson paper.

I'd give the Kodak paper a try, Steve. Carlos apparently had good luck with it,
and it was excelent on my Epson 1200, a little bitter in fact than the Epson Pro
Glossy. You are using a different ink system, but give it a try since you have
it. I'm quite sure it will prove better than the HP paper.

It's certainly not difficult to focus. I'd have to do some side by side
comparisons to know for sure, but I'd guess it's probably almost as good as an
LX with a 20 series screen. Certainly not as good as an LX with a 60 series
screen. Aaron can probably quantify the difference.

  The 6X7 is nice to focus in dim light?,
 I wouldn`t have guessed.
