If anyone's using an Epson Stylus Photo 1200, I'd be grateful to know what
papers work well with it. I use Photoshop for mainly darkroom-type activity
on b&w scanned negs, but different papers seem to have colour biases -
there's some Canon paper I've tried that came up rather brown, some other
Epson stuff that comes up greenish - with genuine Epson ink or not,
greyscaled images or rgb, different neg stock... all the same result.

All help much appreciated. Fairly new to this game.

Cheers,

Bernard

Hi.

The only paper recommended for a Stylus Photo 1200 is the older Epson Photo
Paper Glossy, 194Gm/SqM.

Epson Premium Glossy, and all the other newer papers will not give accurate
colours, they were introduced after these printers were replaced.

UNLESS you get a Media Specific ICC Profile made for the Paper, and or Inks
you intend to use, and learn enough about Colour Management to use that
Profile.

It is not all that difficult or expensive, (provided you do not use the
Epson service), and will allow these sturdy printers to work with the modern
media.

The Photo 700, 1200 and 1200EX Drivers only install one Printer Profile,
and that is a generic one, which only seems to be accurate with that
thinnish and none too glossy paper.
