I am seeing some of that mottling of the ink on the surface, with 
the Epson Smooth Fine Art, with MIS dyes. I don't really want to 
admit it, because I don't know how to eliminate it. But I am 
seeing it. I have a print test going now to see if 24 hours of 
drydown makes it go away. I'm seeing it mostly in midtones to 
dark tones; makes sense I guess with all that ink buildup. I 
wonder if it's something to do with the fact that Epson SFA is 
designed for pigments, and I'm bastardizing it by using it with 
dyes, because I'm in love with the weight and the surface... -Mark
