Merlin and Osprey

2001-09-01 by Antonis Ricos

Mark,

for the record, Merlin and Osprey did not do well with Piezo inks, producing a 
dmax in the 1.43 - 1.48 range. If you get a better number with other quads, 
please post. For reference, the Hahnemuhles get into the 1.60 range.

PS. the URL for Hawk Mountain is always available in our Bookmarks section.
