Okay, I guess we're in agreement.  I assumed that if
they aren't printing on the border, that they will
take some steps to ensure no light hits it.  Either by
physical or optical masking.

If they are using the Fuji Frontier, this probably
becomes a trivial issue.  The printer could easily
control the lasers with enough accuracy to ensure that
no light hits the "border" area of the print.  It's
probably a simple user interface option.

I've used the Epson Luster a few times and liked it.

But I'm not sure what setting to use for it: the instruction sheet says
select "Premium Luster," or if I don't have that "Premium Semigloss" but I
don't either.

Appreciate a recommendation about which one I should use. Or can I update my
printer software somehow? I looked on the Epson site and didn't see an fix.

Thanks
Eric

Have you tried the Epson Semi-gloss and Luster??
They both have an 'E' look to them and print just

I have growing requests from professional wedding
photographers to make prints on "pearl," "RC" or
semi-gloss/semi-matte photo paper. I use an Epson
1270 with Epson inks. They find the Epson glossy
too glossy (almost like a 1-hour lab) and the
Epson HW matte to be too matte.

Thanks for the warning.  I just received a small pack to try.  I liked the
surface but have only
made one print with my 1160.  It is about 3 weeks old and kept in normal
room light but is
in open air (not behing glass).  No problem yet but I'll watch closley if I
put any behind glass.

Ernst,
You're the man!!!!  Thank you for unraveling the mystery.
That is the supplier--the cartridge number and houseing matches exactly.  It
also explains why the Cone cartridge came with a foil wrap and the CDC came
with a clear plastic wrap, since they offer both.  What an extremely cool
find.  Big pat on the back for that one.

I just called the US office and the minimum order is $300 so I'll still be
getting my inks from Cone.  But it is always a pleasure for me to know the
suppliers.  Thanks again.

Frequently mentioned here is the notion of ink drying. If we are talking about
an oil-based ink, what does this really mean? Does the oil substrate evaporate?
This certainly is what happens with water-based inks. If this is what happens,
does anyone have any data on how fast this occurs?

Or does the ink, in fact, not dry at all, but simply binds or adheres to the
surface that it's on? If the ink is really drying, it seems like it wouldn't
matter much what medium the ink was printed on. It would eventually dry. But we
know that some media, like the old Kodak paper that I have lying around, doesn't
seem to ever dry.

Does it really? Is the ink really on the paper, or is it in the paper? I think
this distinction is what is driving me to continue this discussion. If it is the
latter, and the layer above the ink has no problem with direct contact with
glass, then I don't see where there is a problem.

I've considered buying a box of Red River's sheer paper to do some
things like this.  I used the two sample sheets they sent me and was
impressed with the results on one of them.  I printed on the wrong
side of the other sheet and the ink is still wet 3 months later - but
it has a blurred watercolor look to it.  I was printing straight
images with the intent of fine detail at the time.

Hi Nina,

Yes, I will try extensions off today, and see if thats a problem. Glad to hear
Virtual Memory should be left on. Photoshop Artistry still says to leave it
off, but Adobe should surely have the last word. I don't have conflict
catcher. Is it an easy to use program, or is it like Toast that comes with a
300 page manual (You print it)? After printing the manual, I discover
everything I needed to know and actually use the program was on ONE single
page. Unbelievable. What a waste of paper !

I can see this for water-based inks, but if they are oil-based inks, will
moisture really draw them out? I think not.

Mold and fungus growth occurs on surfaces not in contact with anything but air
as well. Just check a used camera equipment store sometime and look into some
really old lenses. My dad has old slides with fungus growing on them as well.
The surfaces of the slides touch nothing other than the air.

>bubbling and warping,

How is the paper going to bubble or warp if it is restricted to two dimensions?
It seems to me these are more likely if the print is allowed to get wet in the
presence of a space.

George:

Did you notice that Lyson's Fotonics are now
available in bulk??  Go see Royce Bair's page:
http://www.inkjetart.com/cis/Ink_Available.html

Someone else brought up a problem here though.
One should flush before installing Lyson inks.
How do you do that with the 1270-80 machines??  I
searched and find no flushing cartridges for these
printers.

One other possibility that crossed my mind:  Why
not buy a set of cartridges for the 7000?  This is
a 6 ink printer, and the cartridges are 110 ml
each.  The 5000 carts would not do because the
Cyan and Magenta cartridges are split, i.e., there
is one cartridge for regular magenta AND light
magenta, and one for regular cyan and light cyan.
Of course, this is a pricey solution, but much
cheaper than using single cartridges.  I would
think that the ink flow would be good since the
7000 uses tubes to feed the print heads.

Sorry, the suggestion about the frame spaces was for the dry mounted print, to
supply spacing between the print and the glass when there is no front matte.
The mounting tape would 'hang' the print from a front matte.

That all may be true; but frame spacers is not the answer with respect to
your suggestion of why tape cannot be used to attach the print to its
backing in a flush mount rather than dry mounting the print. The frame
spacers will not hide the tape unless it is double stick tape on the back of
the print itself and the backing board because they typically are the width
of the frame's rabbit cut which is too little room to effectively use tape
to hold the print to the backing.

It looks like there will be about 50 prints per portfolio! Many people have
offered to send two or three prints.

As there has been so much concern about how long it takes to get the
portfolios to make their rounds, I thought we could make it a self-policing
list. Once I have a list of everyone who wants to view the portfolio, I'll
make a Web page like the one at:

http://www.reallyusefulpage.com\tp-list.htm

Each person on the list can then click and e-mail the person before them to
prompt them to view the portfolio and get it in the mail. Every now and then
someone can send me a date noting when they got the which portfolio and I'll
post it on the Web page. This way everyone can see who has it and make an
estimate of when it they may get it.

I've got about 40 interested in viewing the portfolio. If you want to
participate, I suggest you let me know by using the e-mail links at:

www.reallyusefulpage.com\Portfolio.htm. The limit is 60 split between three
groups of 20.

Several have suggested splitting the portfolio into different categories.
For me, I'd like to see them all. I'm into photography prints, fine art
images, and B&W. As I think there are more people that want to see a range
of prints than a single type, let's stick with putting them all together.

One last comment in response to questions I'm getting off-line. All prints
are to be on 8-1'2" x 11" paper and all the notes about that print are to be
attached to the print. Either glued on, stapled on or written directly on
the back of the print. The objective is to have one neat and tidy box about
the size of a package of 100 pages of paper. It'll make it easy to handle,
package, ship, view, etc. Yes, the prints will get damaged and beat up a
bit. But, the portfolio will get around and serve its purpose.

Dan, Bruce, Rafe, and other major contributors to the List--we'd love to
have submissions from you as well! Still would like to see some prints from
vendors too! Thanks everyone...

No more info or responses from me on the Traveling Portfolio until the
middle of next week! If you e-mail me, that is OK--just don't expect me to
respond until next week.

Ott-Lite has just began to take the prepress proofing market seriously, and
development of a bulb aimed specificly to suit this market will certainly
help their acceptance at the high end. They are already a great proofing lamp

The butcher paper is used as a support. You can iron cloth or other
flimsy medium (silk) to the waxy side of the paper. You now have  some
thing with 'body' that can go through the printer.

If you are printing on silk, you have to heat set the ink by rolling the
print in a towel, and steaming it.

They are an excellent compromise offering extended life while maintaining a
gamut and printability similar to the Epson inks, but requiring custom
profiles to get good color. This list is prone to new fads and extremes (or

Lysonic inks got hammered by Wilhelm a few years back. That and the fact
that they need good profiles makes them a bit less popular here. On the
other hand, many professionals use them without problems, Lysonic sells
a LOT of ink. I have used them quite a bit, and have been happy with
them. I also happen to think my prints will last a lot longer than
Wilhelm says they will, and may have lasted longer already. Lyson has
some longevity info on their site, conflicting with Wilhelm, The answer
is probably somewhere in between.
I have no experience with Fotonics, but C. D. Tobie likes them. What
more could anyone ask? :)

My question is about using media street's plug-n-play dye-based bulk ink
(with a CIS) on the Epson 1280.  Has anyone done this successfully with
the epson/adobe rip and do you need to alter the color profiles from

Anyone who has ever handled resin coated photographic paper during the
development process will know that there is no coating on top of the
emulsion at all.  The slightest scratch takes the emulsion clean off
leaving the plastic coated white paper underneath.  The surface texture
is on the plastic coating and remains even after the emulsion is removed
- either by damage or by the fixing process on unexposed areas.

Inkjet papers are completely different.

I love the Epson Premium Luster.  I printed some images on the Luster with
my Epson Premium Glossy settings that were laboriously and carefully worked
out over a considerable amount of time (you all know the feeling), and I was
very pleasantly surprised to find the the color was identical.  Very very
very close.  I didn't want to tweak even one slide even one number.  Which
is good.  Because Epson support doesn't even know they sell that paper.

1280 pages have drivers released more recently."

Does this mean that I can use any Epson driver with any Epson printer, quad
to quad and hex to hex, of course?

If you know of up-dated drivers that work with 1160s and 700s, please let me
know.

So, why don't you people who think it is not a problem to have the print
mounted flush against the glass just go ahead and display all your prints
that way. The rest of us will continue to use mat boards and separators. In
a few years we'll see who has to peel their prints off the glass.
Meanwhile, surely this has gone on long enough.

You might try the Ilford semi-matte RC paper DTPSP9, available in lettersize
and 11x17.
You probably would have to experiment with paper settings for best results,
also this paper should do away with the "orange fade" problem.
