RE: Masa papers was Artistico Unsized?
Hi Jean, I buy it from Jerry's Artarama: https://www.jerrysartarama.com/art-supply/catalogs/016578A000000 (USD 65 for 100 21x31" sheets) HP9180 is indeed a very good printer (for both digital negatives and regular prints). My only complaint about it is: it doesn't work well with Ultrafine -> I have to pay premium for Pictorico. Ultrafine + 1290 was a wonderful combo for making negatives (but no good for prints since inks are dye based). I should note that digital negatives made with HP9180 on Pictorico gives slightly more grain compared to negatives made with 1290 on Ultrafine. Anyway... Good luck with your 9180.

Hi Loris, Your enthusiasm about Masa paper seems quite communicative ;-) Where do you buy it ? (I know you are in Turkey; I'm in France). Maybe, you've already posted your source on this list but I can't remember and i did not take time tp search for it in the Archives. By the way, I'm happy to know that you use HP 9180 to print your digital negatives. I just bought one ; it arrived some days ago and is still in its box (I'm not sure where I'll put it because it needs some room !). Seems to be an excellent printer; i read a lot about it and various ICC profiles on the Yahoo group "HP9100 Series" dedicated to this printer.
