Greetings Tom,

Kodak has created something called One Touch. This feature is incorporated
into the Kodak EasyShare Software as well as a stand alone reference from
their website. Please visit

http://www.kodak.com/go/inkjet
http://www.kodak.com/go/onetouch

These two options will give you some insight into what is offered. If you
go to the Inkjet site, look to the left of the screen and click on Printer
Settings. If you have a current driver installed for your printer, use the
suggested settings and you will find that Kodak paper will yield good
results.

The One Touch site gives you the option of downloading and installing the
latest driver adjustments for your printer if you are using the EasyShare
software. Of course, all of this is free.

Talk to you soon,

Ron Baird
Eastman Kodak Company

Hi Ron,

Thanks for your input into this thread. I don't know if it's official or
unofficial your input on behalf of Kodak, but it's welcome. It's a shame
other manufacturer don't contribute.

I would like to ask one question though. I have used many brands of paper,
not all covered in my previous post as some were cheap and cheerful and
other were specific to here in the uk.
All brands I've tried required some fine tuning of the printer settings to
achieve correct results. I've just gone through about 20/30 sheets of Folex
stock printing out a GretagMacbeth colour chart with embedded sRGB colour
space (Yes my monitor is calibrated to 2.2 also. There
was nothing really wrong with the results on default settings, but they
didn't quite match what I saw on my monitor and as I manipulate my images
its important to know what I'm seeing on the screen will be printed. So I
know that all paper requires some tweaking.
However Kodak paper I've used in the past required much more than just
tweaking. On default setting the whole image would have a pink cast,
brightness and contrast way off.
Why does it appear as if Kodak paper requires more adjustment to printer
settings than other brands?

Please don't take this question the wrong way - I'm no expert - just and
enthusiastic amateur.

Kind Regards,
Patrick
