Digital BW, The Print

Coated Eclipse Velvet is the show stopper...not sure whether Martin
experimented with that.  I personally don't like the textured papers coated
either.  In fact I don't really like any of the Hahnemule papers
coated...they are great uncoated though.  If Cone profiles Museo it should
also be a great coated paper.  Haven't seen the other smooth new papers yet.
