Hey everyone, I just joined and wanted to lay a question out to all:
What are the recommendations of using Piezography with an R1800 to produce glossy prints?
Most of what I am reading is geared toward matte printing. Can I do the glossy printing with this product?
I am considering trying it on the Ilford Harmon Gloss.... havent tried it yet, but hearing enough good things to try it

Thanks for any help!!

Josh,
Unless you choose the MPS Selenium inkset, Piezography is a matte paper platform. Not good for glossy, or the "digital fiber" papers either. The MPS Selenium set has a universal black (designed for matte and glossy) and a gloss optimizer for use on glossy media. Inkjet Mall is working on in-house profiles for gloss usage. No timetable yet for a final release. In any event you will need QTR for any of the latest Piezography solutions.
