Digital BW, The Print

Robert,

I did try coating some Eclipse last summer and the results we good but my
brush work was lacking. I found it harder to work with in the area of
streaking, etc. I realize that the paper may have changed since then.

I am not surprised that you got a better Dmax using the Epson driver. I
noticed long ago it gave deeper blacks than the Piezo driver even with the
Piezo inks.
