Also, for fine quality prints, the Hahnnemuller (sic) Photo rag paper in two weights is superb. A couple of outlets rebrand it slightly cheaper (I can hunt them out if you want.) Also, Tina is the Peizo queen, so she will probably respond! As for alignment - some people go to great lengths. Unless your printer is in a room that cycles from very warm to very cool, it should go out too much. I find I do it every now and then, or at the start of an important print job. and to frank, I often just use plain paper and a loupe (and also save the prints that screw up and I abort half way through!). I know people say you should use the same paper you are printing on, but I've never had a problem. tim a > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Adam Bridge > Sent: April 4, 2002 11:01 AM > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: [Leica] Piezography paper recommendations > > > I've gotten my continuous inking system up on the Epson 1280 and it's a > joy!
