Can I chime in? I think what Jay was asking is what setting do you use on the printer itself. I know nothing about printers, much less Epsons, but somewhere there are setting for paper, glossy, film, etc. I think those are what he was asking about.

I don’t think anyone missed that - the unwritten reply was:

Dude, was there and did that, do yourself a favor and get a RIP (forget all of that internet BS about saving money buying some internet article “book”).

The IProof RIP is another good choice.

Also the inks...

Get the dye based or hybrid inks the results will be like white and black, the epson inks are difficult to get up to par and the inks help greatly - not a little bit but shockingly better.

He did not say so but because of the very nature of the question the user likely has a low-powered exposure unit the very unit that demands the best positive you can produce to overcome the slower exposures.

Anyone ever hear about “cascading effects” in production?
