Re: Generations ink and MatchLock Profiler

Roger,
I also have this "scum" on glossy prints (Epson 1200 - Generation ink -
Epson Photo Paper).  I have no idea what it is but would like to know.  If
others are NOT having this problem, then I wonder why we are.  I've been
printing on Royal Plush and like it, but I have been un-impressed with my
results on glossy.
