Digital BW, The Print

A bought some Photo Rag at a local art supply store this weekend and the 
guy who sold it to me said Photo Rag has the same 'emulsion' as German 
Etching. I assume he meant the coating. I have no idea if what he says is 
true. Just passing it along and wondering if anyone else can confirm.

I started testing MIS FS inks this weekend with the Piezo driver and found 
GE to be more to my liking that Photo Rag. Right now, I like both GE and 
Crane Museo with the MIS FS/Piezo combo.

Cone (inkjetmall.com) sells sample packs that contain a sheet or two of the 
Photo Rag variations. It's an inexpensive way to try some.
