Digital BW, The Print

Hi Martin,

That's better. I was afraid all satine papers had that RC look.  I've only seen 2 or 3 and they did look
like an RC print. They looked like a glossy print had been sprayed with a matte spray, which is about as
tacky as you can get.

I just don't understand why manufacturers can't label their papers so that their thickness raing means the
same thing to all people. The ideal paper for me would be a photo matte by legion papers that was about
twice as thick as it is now.  I'm awaiting some eclipse to see how I like that with the MIS inks.  I still
haven't printed a piezo print with the photo matte, but I will today.
