Well, it LOOKS and feels dry as the print comes out from the printer
(assuming you don't use high speed printing - not recommended for the
MIS VM's anyway)...

I let each print dry down about 10-15 minutes before stacking it.  And
keep in mind I am in NJ during SUMMER,  Read that HIGH humidity.

One interesting thing I'm noting with the VM inks on it is that when the
print is backlit I can actually see details in the blacks that are near
impossible to pick out when the image is lit from the front..  That
quality alone opens up a world of creative possibilities for hanging and
lighting prints..
