I bought a new color cartridge for my Color 740 last weekend. I've been printing a lot this week, trying to figure out why all my prints look washed-out. You may recall I was asking about color management. I've printed about eight 5X7 photos and a few smaller ones and now the ink's low again. Is this normal? How do you digital darkroom guys afford to print your photos? With the price I paid for that cartridge, it works out to about $3.50 per print. BTW, I finally got some that look just *OK*. Certainly, I've not printed anything I would pay for yet.
I've been printing on Kodak Matte picture paper. Would I be getting markedly better looking prints on a glossy high-end paper? If I get a new printer, (~$100-150) should I get another Epson? Cory Lost in the digital darkroom
