Digital BW, The Print

Eddie,

Hehnemuhle papers leave a lot to desired amount marking the print 
side.  But, if you note the fine print on the label (should have a 
rooster on it), you will note it says "coated side on top".  I have 
found that side is also the one where a plain brown paper is on top 
of the stack.

If for some reason, you don't know which side faced the label, and 
have removed the brown paper, the tongue trick is what I have read 
about (but I have never had to use it.)

Regards.

Shilesh
