Re: [Digital BW] Paper

Bill-

Steve was understating your problem...pigment inks are horrible on 
glossy paper...spraying helps, but not an easy solution. 

If you really want glossy, you should be using a dye ink like Lyson 
Small Gamut.

I think everyone would agree that FS inks are fantastic for matte art 
papers.

You might want to search the archives here for some threads on 
spraying...there are a few real experts on overcoating here.

Cheers,
