Re: New epson 3000 paper ejects too soon

Pam,

I have used Canon LC-201 Color BJ Paper (color copier paper) for some really
good output. One guy took the color proof to the catalog printer and they
used that (gasp!) for the art -- and it looked 'good enough' for his
applications. I have also used it for b&w camera-ready art (with OEM inks)
for pricelists, etc. and the printer was really impressed with the quality.
Not me, it was what I expected from the epson 1520 ... that's why I bought
it last year ... and paid $800.00 <g> ... at least I made myself wait until
it came down under a grand ;-)

There were no photos in any of the art, but I did the color seperations for
the spot colors in b&w after the client proofed the color comp. The printer
said he liked the blends from the epson better than he did the normal
screens used to create screened areas ... he would rather a non-patterned
area of gray than say, a 40% 133lpi screen, and I must say I agree, it
seemed easier on the eyes.

When printing on the canon paper, there were clean edges and smooth fonts.
Using the normal epson driver has been my goal all along, I just wish I had
a little more offset-oriented control over the color 'plates' so that I
could try some film!

My next project will be to try for 'positive' color plates just for kicks.
But, I still have my website to get up first ... nothing else is going to
get done 'til I get it up ... i swear ...  no really ;-)

Cheers  -  Ann K
