Even with a very smooth paper, the grain could still be the texture of the paper depending on how it absorbs the ink. The least grainy papers I've found for use with Generations ink are Legion Photo Matte and Epson Archival Matte. Do you have a sample file without grain that you could print as a trial on the Cone Tech paper? A photo from a digital camera or one of the step wedges should tell you whether the grain is in the scan, the paper, or the printing process. >Any thoughts would be appreciated....Am I expecting >too much?
