David, I did not pursue the experiments for inkjet printing.   With all the
changes that were taking place in alternative print making which included
how to make new printing negs, I simply needed to concentrate on different
aspects than whether this ink set worked with this paper throughout these
humidity ranges with these output setting. 
 
And sure as  ..  after I ran those experiments, the sizing would change, so.
Small batch experiments makes more sense to me.

And when I ask about humidity, it isn't just whether
there is high or low, but at what point does it work or not. I use drying
boxing and humidity controlled boxes to get papers to specific ranges.

Very interesting. Does this experience translate into any practical advice
for inkjet printers, or is it primarily for those who coat their own papers?

Also. Went to your web site. Saw the Curtis images� big points! Love Curtis.
I have Plate 420 A Hopi Man 1921 hanging on my wall. I printed it on
Portriga Rapid 118 (before they ruined it) from a copy negative I made using
Professional Copy Film Type 4125 (one of my favorite in-camera films, before
it was discontinued), copy made from an original Japanese tissue print.

I looked for some of your platinum images, couldn't find any. Did I miss
them?
