Digital BW, The Print

Good endorsement, Eddie, thank you.

The reason I brought that issue up in this thread is that I submitted my sample prints to Aardenburg with that spray, and although the results so far are very good, it doesn't tell me how my particular combination of printer/ink/paper would have worked without it.

Happy Holidays!
