I went out yesterday and bought some Epson Heavyweight Matte and some Epson Archival Matte paper, but looking at the prior thread, I'm not so sure I shouldn't have gotten glossy or semi-gloss paper. Any advice?
Regards, Bob S. ========= You might check in again at Epson. They do sometimes release new paper profiles and printer drivers for older printers. I have the Epson 925 and they did release some update for it since the printer's release. Hasn't been anything for a while, I think. But if I were you I'd double-check. Also there are some freeware/shareware paper profiles out there too. Done by users. Personally, I ordered a Spyder that was on sale from Pantone and I have tried it twice and I felt it calibrated my monitor too red (I did in the complete dark). So I've gone back to using Adobe Gamma (which comes with Elements). I think it does a better job than most think. If the monitor looks good to my eye, it's good. If it annoys me, it's not good. :-) And I agree with WR, it may be impossible to make the monitor and prints match, so just go for both looking good. Although I suppose with high, high priced and/or high, high end stuff it might be possible. But otherwise go with what works. I feel WR knows, too. Marnie aka Doe ;-)
