It would of course bother me if I was severely restricted to certain papers but as Hahnemuehle provide ICC profiles for a wide range of their papers for use with the Epson 1400 I infer that they...

Quite correct, but somewhat ironically, the swellable polymer class of papers (e.g., Ilford Classic Gloss and Pearl, Epson Colorlife, and earlier versions but not the newer versions of HP Premium...

David, I gave up some time ago trying to have an in-depth discussion on this forum about print permanence. I only mention it here in very general terms nowadays. It seems to be a highly charged...

Re: the Epson Artisan 730, I have a similar model, the 725, and the Artisan series printers have a front-feed only paper path. Great for a small office printer, but problematic for what you want to...

Wow, I must have just purchased "ancient" stock last week from a shipment B&H photo apparently had just received! Or, fuji's really shipping a lot of these babies! Intrigued, but not disheartened....

I just received an X10 from B&H Photo in NYC. B&H was "temporarily out' right before it showed "in stock", and that's when I ordered. So, as far as USA goes, I'd be inclined to believe I've gotten...

I just received my X10 from B&H photo yesterday. I'm by no means an expert on it's various setting yet, but your issue appears to be related to auto ISO settings. My camera has latest firmware...

Yes, lots of people feel exactly the way you do. Even more people no longer see a need to make a photographic print at all. They prefer to view their digital images on an iphone, ipad, or flat...

Archival Mat, at least here in the U.S. got renamed Ultra Premium Presentation Paper a few years ago. Your 1400 driver should have media settings called Presentation Paper matte and Ultra Premium...

OBAs will activate well if you are using regular picture glass, although the light source does need to contain some UV radiation. OBAs will also activate sufficiently behind regular acrylic. It is...

It is pretty obvious based on the significant volume of specific complaints that there is a design flaw in the aperture blades of the X100. Otherwise, we'd be seeing a variety complaints over...

Yes, I'm seriously looking at both the X-10 and the X-100 which is in itself a high compliment to Fujifilm. Seriously leaning towards the X-100 due to higher overall IQ, willing to work with a...

It would be cool if that many people were following this thread. However, my take on technical forums is that even websites with heavy traffic like DpReview quickly divide visitors along their...

Agreed on the tungsten and halogen spot lighting. Spots can generate a heat load within the framed picture's microclimate that leads to physical expansion/contraction cycles that in turn can lead...

I have no clue why dpReview doubled up on my post with a second empty post. A bug of some kind... -- Mark McCormick

Until your post, I wasn't aware of Epson "Frog" or "Hummingbird" inks! Frog inks look like a U.K. packaging variant of what are simply called Epson Claria dye inks in the U.S. and Hummingbird inks...
