Epson Stylus Photo r3000 question
« on: October 03, 2013, 12:42:23 pm »

Hi, I'm trying to print on semi gloss paper pages saturated in black. However, when using the photo black both the PK and color quality are not nearly as sparkling as when selecting the matte black (even using semi-gloss paper). The problem then obviously becomes the black rubbing off the page even during printing. So, I was wondering if given my paper specs you could help me adjust settings as you did for him. I'm printing through adobe reader X and the sheets are Inkpress Duo 9 mil thickness, 180 gsm, 95% brightness. I asked Epson tonight and they just said the obvious that MK has more pigment and there is not as much ink used for gloss as it sits on top of the page. However, I'm looking for help on the settings as I know this machine is capable of being 'the benchmark on B/W' prints, etc. Thanks so much for your time!

You might want to try something other than Adobe Reader

It's an idea, although, I've printed through this program on my previous laser printer without an issue. These are pdf995 docs.
