Good Day!
Ok, I'm Swedish so bare with me if my English isn't top notch.
I'm fairly new on the subject of inkjet printing. However I work as a Technician on printers, both high volume printing (transaction, afp, IPDS) and color laser printers, both continuous and sheet feeds, and somewhat into color management (you could wake me 5 in the morning asking me about relative, perceptual, RGB vs CMYK, using and creating profiles etc and I could answer it all).
Bought a new to me Epson 1400 just to play with, print some photos etc.
Why an Epson Photo 1400? Just because its Dye ink, and I love how it's almost non-bronzing on glossy paper. But after reading some on this forum and others, I realized I have to coat my prints with some kind of varnish or UV protection if it's going to last as long as I want.
Discovering this, I got both glossy and matt UV protection from Ghiant, and some Epson Luster paper so that it doesn't stick to the glass in the frame.
Since I haven't received my spray cans with coating yet, I was wondering in the meantime which of them you are supposed to use on Luster paper. I reckon there is a satin spray as well, however I couldn't find any on the website I was purchasing from.
Secondly, Though I am getting amazing colors right of the bat, using photoshop, using it's color management with the appropriate profile, I was wondering what, if any changes the paper chosen in the driver makes on the outcome?
Perhaps you people with amazing knowledge could help a young fellow?
Kind Regards!
