RE: Waves in Epson 1200 prints

["B. Twieg" <btwieg@sonic.net>]

Thanks Bill. I'm using Epson Photo Paper with the photo paper setting in the
1200 print properties dialog box. Since I want to use less ink anyway, I'll
experiment with your suggestion. These waves only seem to occur with larger
paper. They are not severe, but they do show when the print is viewed from
an angle, not when viewed straight on.

In the 1200 print properties box it lists the following media types:
Plain paper
360 dpi ink jet paper
Photo quality ink jet paper
Photo paper
Photo quality glossy film
Ink jet transparencies
Ink jet back light film

My understanding is that as you move down the list, each setting puts down
less and less ink.  Is this correct?  Does anyone have an idea how much of a
change there is from one setting to the next?

I've just had a paper supplier ( on instructions from the manufacturer)
suggest I use the "plain paper" setting instead of "photo paper" in order to
cut down on the amount of ink.  I just want to make sure I'm on solid ground
before I argue back.
