no problem, no discussion necessary...   what you say is misleading to those
who haven't printed a properly readied file. I have very "kicky" prints,
mine and others.  All different rag papers, different pig's, printers, and
negative/scanner sources... not flat at all, a flat print can be traced back
to a flat digital file.
