Paper Settings For Ilford Gold Fiber Silk and New Printer

<p>I just did something stupid. I uninstalled my Epson R2880 software from my computer and installed my new Epson SC600 printer and software. I wrote down all my settings for producing B&W prints the way I like, but I forgot to write down the media type for my preferred paper. I think there are more choices than with the R2880, but I can't be sure now. I use Ilford Prestige Gold Fiber Silk for both B&W and Color. I have three opened boxes of this paper(different sizes) but no longer have the little instruction sheets in them. Ilford's site has nothing, much to my amazement on this setting or because of my inability to find it. My choices are Premium Photo Paper Glossy , Premium Photo Paper Semigloss and Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster. I think I was using Premium Photo Paper Glossy for years, but I just don't remember. I will experiment if there is not a source with this information. Thanks for any help you can give me.</p>

<p>use the Semi-Gloss media setting</p>

<p>Since you have a new printer, you need new a new icc profile for each paper you use (and probably want to delete any old ones for printers you don't use anymore). Go here and work through their tool to get the specific profile for your printer type.<br /> http://www.ilford.com/printer-profile-list<br /> When you get to the point where you download your printer profile, it will come as a zip file. The zip file will include an instructional .pdf. It is a bit vague about paper type but you have to look at the name of the profile itself and look for the paper code. Since the profile for your specific printer with this particular paper, IGPGFS_EPSC600_EPSn.icc, ends in "EPS", you should choose "Epson Premium Semigloss" as your paper type within the Epson driver.<br /> <br />Doug</p>

<p>Thank you both for the responses and the answers match which is always good :-)<br>

I have downloaded the new profile. I don't know whether I misunderstood Ilford's explanation of the code or something else, but I thought the media type code was at the beginning, but it is in fact at the end.<br>

Thanks again.</p>
