Digital BW, The Print

Sam, I just tried printing with black only ink MIS Variable Hextone black, on Epson Archival matte paper.

The image was full of bizzare little artifacts, grain, windowscreen like cross hatches, and something that looked like banding on a toot.
All mixed together. MOST unpleasant.

But, the TONE was beautiful, the Contrast was wonderful, and except for all the artifacts, looked great, from about 12 to 15 inches. But up
close you can see it all.
