Metallic Paper and printing Deep Sky Astro images on the ET-8550

Testing metallic papers for colourful deep sky astronomical images on the Epson ET-8550/8500 ink tank printer. Giving your prints extra luminosity and depth. Basic image processing and print settings for deep sky astronomy images as physical prints rather than screen and web images.
