RE: C80 and fine art prints

["Seth Rossman" <seth@msrphoto.com>]

I have used that Great White for several years now for proofs from
digital files.  But I am really hard pressed to sell a piece of 32#
bond-type paper to someone as a fine-art print. 

I find it is a great cost saver to try a print on this before going to
Epson Heavyweight Matte.

We're using our new C80 almost exclusively for fine art prints. Some are
photos of original art, others are original digital images which tend to
be "flatter," with fairly simple colors. 

We're finding that the paper and the settings make a *huge* difference.
We've been using Great White Imaging & Photo Paper, Matte Finish. The
setting we use on the C80 is usually Archival Matte paper with 720dpi.
We experiment a lot, because the printed result seldom looks exactly
like what's on the monitor. But it usually looks great anyway. 

We have also used Saunders hot press art paper a little bit. The
Automatic setting is the most predictable, though we've also used the
Archival Matte setting, which made the image come out much darker then
we expected, but very nice.

hi! 

has anyone used the C80 to print out fine art images, and if so, what
setting 
would you use for the photo paper? 

i vaguely remember reading somewhere that there is a special setting for
the 
paper that one needs to use [that is NOT the Glossy Photo Paper setting]
or 
the black in an image that you are printing, won't come out...... or 
something to that effect 

thanks!
