settings for crane museo 2 and moab entrada

[morocco]

i have an epson 1280 printer running epson ink. i also have crane

museo 2 and moab entrada (300gsm) papers recently purchased.

 

the web sites (crane and moab)have dowloadable icc profiles for

epson's newer printers with these papers, but nothing for the 1280.

 

i understand that there are a number of places that could create a

custom profile for my printer/ink/paper combination, but i just

received these papers and am not sure i even like them yet.

 

does anyone have basic recommendations for printing on these papers?

for instance, should i click colorlife or premium glossy or something

else for my these papers? i'm just trying to save some time and

paper.

 

thanks

Try Epson Enhanced Matte. Works for me with 2200/oem pigment, great with most mattes.

Ditto, at least for the Entrada paper, in my experience. I've found the results are virtually identical between the Epson matte paper and Entrada when using the Enhanced Matte setting.

Why not get the profiles from the manufacturer's web sites?

Duh. Sorry. I should have re-read that it was for the 1280 first and that you've already followed my foolish advice. Time for bed...
