Image usage information

Epson media settings for the ImagePrint RIP

Media settings to use when using non oem papers

For the best printing results with the ImagePrint RIP fro ColorByte software you need to match the media settings to the type of paper that you have. This is easy with Epson papers, but what do you do for other manufacturers. The particular example that led to this table was Keith's review of Textured Art Silk paper from Permajet. (Profile curve download)

The What's New Page gives a quick overview of the hundreds of pages of articles and picture on this site.

The RIP settings

The following settings are available on my 9600 These are used to alter paper feed settings on your printer. With IP they have no effect on the actual ink settings. It's set to Adhesive Vinyl, since this was close to the Matte Art paper I was using at the time. -- no, I'd never have picked it by choice either.

Epson's paper information

Here is what I've found ... if you find different values on another Epson site I'd appreciate knowing :-)

...and here sorted by thickness

The two images below are from an Epson UK PDF file with ink and paper info (2008) It also contains what papers work with which inks and printers.

PermaJet Paper information

I've recently tested 7 different papers from PermaJet, and three of them currently have profiles from ColorByte Software.

I've also created QTR curves for the Epson 1290 using PermaJet MonoChromePro inks (3 per paper) - See the B/W printing ink review for more information

A zip file of all 15 QTR ink curve files is available for download. Please feel free to contact us if you need any more info.

Note that they are text files that on a Mac you drop onto the curve builder, and they just get installed. On a PC (which I don't have) I believe you have to open them in the curve creation program. If you open them and save with a different name, the new files should be of the correct type. All the info you need to build curves is there in the files.
