Digital BW, The Print

I willl agree with all the findings below and will add that I printed
using the piezo inks 
and found it to print very much like the Photo Rag 308 (my standard
paper).  I used 
the arches hot press piezo profile and with that it had a tad bit
less contrast than 
using the photo rag profile.  I love the buttery smooth surface
(maybe i should say it 
feels like kidd leather) and the warm tone.  I used the Piezo carbon
sepia inks and the 
prints look wonderful.  However with that said, I was afraid that I
might like it so 
much that I wouldn't want to use my supply of photo rag but this is
not so.  I find it 
no better than the photo rag---only slightly different.  I will use
both.  I did make the 
mistake of ordering the very heavy wt. and I could hardly get it to
go through my 
1280 printer (only with much difficulty).  I like heavy wt. papers
but think I will order 
the lighter weight next time, at least in the smaller sizes. eleanor
