Hey group .... does anyone print their photos and art works from Photoshop
on watercolor papers ? If so ...what papers do you use and what changes do
you make ? ( i. e. more contrast etc. ) I just started trying Arches' brand
today and found I needed more contrast .

I have scanned original Watercolor images and printed them directly on
the same Watercolor Paper as used on the original.
I used Acid Free, Cold Pressed, Heavyweight Watercolor Paper. I printed
at 240 ppi on an Epson 740, using Epson ink. I told the printer I was
using Photo Quality paper so I could get the 1440 dpi print option. I
selected Automatic Mode (no alteration of color balance). The results
were fantastic. Even making a side-by-side comparison with the original,
differences were very subtle. Without a side-by-side comparison, you
couldn't tell which was which.....Bob Williams
