Digital BW, The Print

It works because these coatings are not water-based.  I believe that is
important to saturate the paper and pigment as part of the process.  These
sprays simply sit on the surface of the paper...so they don't meet my
requirements.  But that is an option.  Hawk Mountain has another similar
paper (with a different coating), Merlin, that does work, but it gives very
poor blacks with PiezoBW.
