Make sure you use the right black in for the paper. Using the photo black on a paper that prefers the matte black will give weal blacks, as will using the matte black on a paper that needs the photo black...and make sure you use the right profile, there should be two sets of profiles, one for the different papers with Matte Blank ink (MK), and one for them with the Photo Black (PK) ink. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-486-2581 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 5/11/11 12:43 AM, "Robert Meier" <robertmeier at usjet.net> wrote: > Chris, > > I have gotten them installed in the right place and have used one of > them tonight, the Epson Exhibition Fiber paper.
