What media setting are people using for EPL 260 paper, epson says to use the premium glossy 250 setting for this paper, you'd think they'd update the printer driver or something. Anyone have any experience with this paper, how does it differ to the 250 stuff and is it ok using the premium glossy 250 media setting?

My impression is that the PL 260 has a different coating than the 250. The coating on the 260 seems to provide a deeper black and a richer gamut. But in terms of which media settings to use I don't know ...

It's really poor of epson to not provide us with an update.

I use the normal Epson Premium Luster setting on my Epson 4000. No issues. On my Z3100 I use gloss profile setting. Cant see any difference compared to Satin setting

I have the 9800 and 260 is there as a selection.

The 7800 has a Luster 260 option also. It was my understanding that if you download the latest printer driver from Epson, it will add the Luster 260 if the paper is supported by Epson on that printer.

hmm, I have the 9800 and I did get the latest print driver and I didnt see 260 as an option, maybe a restart is required.

I should have also stated, I am running XP Pro and have the driver from around Nov of 2006. I have not upgraded the firmware or printer driver since then. When you go to select the paper type you do have a Luster 260 selection. I didn't even notice it for a while.
