Do you see a difference on Merlin, Diana, among those of the various 
Piezo ink sets which you've tried? (Not that I know which those are.)

But not ink drawings? I have some to re-print and am curious to know 
why you preferred the uncoated paper for pencil and charcoal 
drawings. I miss uncoated paper and keep looking for ways to use it.

Partial or not, Diana, I hope you won't hesitate to post about your 
own papers. I'm eager to know more about them.
