Re: Arches Paper in Epson Printers
Daniel Smith art catalog has all the descriptions of papers usable in the
Epson printers, specifically for the Epson 3000, and the new archival inks
and quadtones that these printers accomodate. A lot of this info has been
run in Camera Arts magazine, about quadtone printing. James Romeo brings up
a good point, though; how archival is archival? Certainly not as long as a
platinum print. The author is George DeWolfe, and his section 3 on this
topic was the nov/dec issue of Camera Arts so I'm sure you could ask for
reprints of the 4 part (i think) article; however, there has been a bunch of
this info already posted to this list so I'm sure this is first of many
replies to your question.
