That's interesting because I found Ilford's profile for their Smooth Gloss paper was absolutely spot-on for my Epson 2200. ----- Well, I should clarify, because the 870 was an early model, the smaller version of the 1270. Higher-priced models probably had specific profiles. For printers without profiles, the "profile" consisted of instructions to decrease magenta, if needed. After a lot of experimenting I found a setting that was good. Then (a) the prints wouldn't seem to dry, (b) Ilford discontinued their lovely semi-gloss paper, and (c) Ilford's help desk wouldn't respond to my queries about replacement papers. So I just gave it up. Joe -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
