Generations and Glossy, WAS: Generation Inks and Media Streets Dual Sided

["Ralph O Brown" <robrown@evergreen-funds.com>]

I just played around some more with my 1200, printing a difficult image (for
Generations) with a lot of very dark, almost black gradiants. The DAS Photo
Glossy showed pronounced black flecks, DAS Matte produced very nice smooth
gradiants, but wasn't as sharply black due to the matte surface, Epson Photo
Paper was in the middle, looking more grainy than flecked. Epson Film was really
spectacular, smooth and very black, however, it has the unfortunate
characteristic that once it dried, the color layer could be easily and
completely removed with a fingernail.

I also tried the same image on a couple of the DAS Hahnemeuhle Art papers which
are coated water color papers with various weights and textures, which worked
very well, same as with the OEM ink.

A friend of mine at work just let me try a couple of sheets of Weber Valentine
Photo Gloss and Lumijet Gallery Gloss, so I'll post how it goes.

I'm beginning to think that an answer would be the DAS Matte with some sort of
gloss spray overcoat.
