[Digital BW] low humidity

2010-05-20 by R.Ternbach

I live in ern Massachusetts where we need to humidify in winter and
dehumidify in summer. So I'm interested in learning from you the
following: --What do you do about the low humidity when you want to print?
If you humidify--What kind of humidifier do you use? Do you use
dimineralized water in you humidifier? Do you have a problem with mineral
dust spread by your humidifier?
