<DIV><FONT face="" size=2>&quot;Without knowing neither the paper nor the 
setting used by the original poster, <BR>it would be difficult to draw any 
conclusion.. May be that the printer is better <BR>calibrated for the photopaper 
than for the other papers ?&quot;&nbsp; </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I have always assumed that any complaints about print quality 
have referred to the output being on Epson Photo Paper, using Epson inks, and 
high quality settings. If the grey look has appeared on a print done on Photo 
Quality Inkjet Paper, I would be inclined to blame the paper. I have had mixed 
results on this paper - sometimes good, sometimes interesting, and occassionally 
bad.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>&quot;Also unlike the 800, <BR>the 1200 doesn't offfer as many 
ICM profiles as papers .. I wonder wether this <BR>couldn't turn out to be a 
problem ?&quot;</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I have had only bad results using paper profiles on my early 
model Stylus Photo printer. I hope I get better results on the 
1200.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Anyway, after hearing from Bill Fernandez, Joe Mead, and Bob 
Snow, and checking out various web sites, I decided to order my 1200 today. If 
all goes well I should be looking at my first prints tomorrow night. I'm looking 
forward to posting a good report.Thanks everybody for the input.</FONT></DIV>
