Has anyone tried premounted boards on the Epson 2200?

[Hatem Eldoronki]

I just got the Epson 2200, and I'm really loving it. I also started selling some enlargements, but was wondering about the Ilford pre-mounted boards that are sold here (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=300705&is=REG) at B&H..

Can someone please tell me if they are good to use with the Epson 2200?
Thanks a lot..

I am new to this gallery, but I am anxious to learn and teach as time permits on this gallery.

I have used/still use the pre-mount boards on the 2200 that you are talking about. Aside from any Ilford Classic products, all else works great. I use the boards for display prints when on location. They are nearly the same texture as the Epson Premium Luster paper. I have displayed them in inclement weather, direct sun, and obviously indoors. The prints are still nice and look untouched after such exposure and hundreds of handlings.

Good stuff, but a pain to center if you have never used the manual loader before. You have to push the board up to the rollers and make sure the front corner is flush against the right side (same as power button). Then make sure the rest of the paper is flush against the rollers. It will seem that the paper si cocked, but it will be straight.

contact me if you have questions...
