I?m using it with my Epson P800 as well. I have tried a lot of others, but using Epson?s paper is simpler and has given me the best results when I wanted a matte surface paper. For Glossy, I use Ilford Gold Fibre Silk or Epson Legacy Baryta. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Like My Work on Facebook On 5/4/18, 2:15 PM, "LUG on behalf of Richard Clompus via LUG" <lug-bounces+chris=chriscrawfordphoto.com at leica-users.org on behalf of lug at leica-users.org> wrote: >I have taken to heart the concept that you need to print your best >images.
