Digital BW, The Print

My main contact at Premier Imaging left.  The current information is from
their 800 line - have no idea what is really going on there.

I moved away from their paper for a number of reasons.  The OBAs are not
considered "fine art" by many.   On the other hand, there still is no
bright paper that can deliver the look of the Premier Art Smooth BW with
Eboni-6.  I now throw in some HP PK to cool the Eboni on Epson Hot Press
when I need a cooler image.
