The revolting thing in my subject line is after printing, I checked
email and costco canceled my order for Konica QP 13x19. I ordered
on Jan. 3, and they had sent me two confirming emails, but now they
say it is no longer available and cancelled the order.
Office depot only had 8.5x11 and I think my local CompUSA only had
Epson, maybe Kodak or HP. What large format paper should I buy to
try out my new 1270?
By the way Paul, when you posted that you had been setting the cyan
and magenta to -5 with the Konica QP, were you setting the papaer
type to premium glossy, glossy, or glossy film as the instructions
in the office depot paper said might be necessary with Epson
printers?
Your input is much appreciated.

Jim: I used the "Premium Glossy Paper" setting. Several other people have indicated that they have had good luck with the "Glossy Film" setting, but I found a lack of saturation and a overall magenta cast with that setting. However the Konica QP needs the Unidirectional printing (High Speed OFF) setting. I have run into a mottled and crackled apearance in dark, high density, areas on QP with bi-directional printing. The "Glossy Film" setting forces uni-directional printing. With "High Speed OFF" the QP works fine. I also find that setting the gamma to 1.5 seems to provide a print that matches what I see on my monitor (15"Sony Laptop LCD)....Paul Pavlik

Has anyone who had orange shift problems with the original Epson
glossy seen an improvement with the Konica paper???
No Orange Shift in my preliminary tests. Epson PG faded noticably
in the same test....Paul Pavlik
