Digital BW, The Print

I really like the Velvet Fine Art.  I think the blacks are very 
good.   Can't compare to Photo Rag as I've never used that paper.  
Also, my black and white prints on Velvet Fine Art, using all 7 color 
inks, show no color cast and no color shift.  The only thing I 
sometimes don't like about EVFA is that the texture can be a bit too 
obtrusive in (a) large areas of light uniform tones and (b) color 
prints generally.  The texture isn't really offensive -- sometimes 
I'd just like less of it.
