PhotoTex & Epson R2400

[TuttleImages]

I have a sample roll of PhotoTex (it is more cloth-like than paper - think nylon woven as paper).

I am trying to print on it with:

Mac OS 10.5.2
PhotoShop CS2
Epson R2400

The issue: When I print, the ink bleeds like all heck, so I get no crisp lines anywhere. I've downloaded the ICC profile file from ColorBurstRIP (http://www.colorburstrip.com/profiles_mac.php) per suggestion of another forum.

Has anyone had any success with this media? I honestly don't think it is a Mac/PC issue, but it is a settings issue within PhotoShop.

TIA

From the PhotoTex website:

Epson:
- NO RIP
- Luster 250 (if using Photo Black inks)
- Velvet fine Art (if using Matte black ink)
- If using a RIP then use Fine art paper for Matte inks semi gloss paper setting
- If using Colorburst Rip with Photo Black ink use profile Luster

No profiles available from PhotoTex, unless you're using a ColorBurst RIP their profile won't do you any good.

Try setting the printer for Luster or VFA depending on the black you're using and then use the Epson profile.

HTH,

Bill
