Digital BW, The Print

Jim,

I print a lot on Eclipse Satine and prefer the smoother "back" sideŠI had
always considered that side to be the front though. I use a 1280 and have
used the VM, MIS FS and Piezo inks and have never had any banding problems
to speak of. Definitely one of two papers of choice for me.
