Re: super high gloss inkjet paper?

Oh yes Mark. I'd make a print for you and send it off but the 7800 is  
filled with the matte ink set. One thing though,
the inks sit on top, to a degree, on the gloss papers and one must  
allow them to dry. With the matte papers the inks
settle into the paper and do not smear.

Again, not being one that knows everything, though I do hold opinions,  
I believe there is a difference between the Ultrachrom
inks and the Ultrachrome K3 inks. The inks are developed by Epson and  
manufactured by Sun Chemicals of Denmark, with plants
in other portions of the world. The technology behind these inks,  
wherein the pigment particles are so small the process is done through  
nanotechnology, meaning the particles are, indeed, small.
