Digital BW, The Print

I haven't used Goshawk, but on another list Hawk Mountain reps were
saying that Goshawk is really only good for printing bright colors,
and that for BW or subtle color work it isn't a good choice. I don't
really understand why this would be, but I figure they probably
wouldn't pass up a chance to sell us paper so there's probably some
truth to it.

Might be worth giving them a call and asking about it.
