Re: Ilford Semi-matte strange blacks

<x-charset iso-8859-1>I had the same problem with my 1160 on Ilford glossy. Try using the Backlit
Film paper setting. It fixed it completely, by putting down less ink, I
presume.

I have the same problem. I had to adjust output levels to 10-255 as
suggested by
Ilford to avoid severe bronzing in the black areas and then the print looks
fine
right of the printer. But after some time, I noticed some strange effects in
the
black areas when viewed from an angle. Ilford send me their "Insider's Guide
to
Great Inkjet Photos" along with the paper. You may want to get a copy if you
like the paper. It seems that there can be two problems with this paper: Too
much black ink which does not penetrate into the paper and ink being jetted
on
paper faster than it can be absorbed. Our problem with the paper is probably
that we get too much black ink. I think I have decided on Epson's HWM paper.
I
can live with the matte finish.
