RE: Problems with Luminos Lumijet DW Glossy paper and Epson 3000

[Jim Collum <collum@network-alchemy.com>]

<x-flowed>Idon't have the exact profile either.. I've tried it with the Museum 
Parchment, the UltraStable Canvas and Lumios' profile for the DW 
Glossy.  All with the same results.. but i do admit.. what wasn't smeared 
was *beautiful*.  With the variety of papers out there, normally I'd just 
drop it and try another glossy.. but I really like the paper.
