Digital BW, The Print

With Ilford Gallerie Smooth Pearl and Antonis's IJC profile (number ISP_10)
I'm getting 2.25 uncoated and 2.26 with two light coats of Kamvar...if I go
a little heavier I go up to 2.51.  There is very, very little bronzing after
the Kamvar...and the surface is completely even through the hilights...I'd
say this is a winner...pending the release of the Oriental paper.  I did
have to use inkjet control to make a slight change to the light black ink
for my printer...but it was a single adjustment and I was right on the money
up to 2.5 dmax.  IJC is a spectacular product...its just a shame that the
windows users will have to wait...for once...;-)
