Digital BW, The Print

Robert,

I have been told that while Epson Smooth Fine Art is the same paper base a
Crane Museo, it was supposed to have an Epson proprietary coating on it.  If
it is different, I'm not sure it's any better.

It's good to hear it coats OK.  I may have to give that a try to see if the
blotchiness on my sample disappears.

Paul

  Paul,

  I'm assuming that you knew, but perhaps you didn't, that this paper was
  essentially Museo.  It does coat quite nicely and at least in my images
the
  blotchiness disappears with coating.
