Digital BW, The Print

At the moment I like the EAM for proofing but I will probably try the 
HWM when my current supply of EAM runs out. Although the price 
difference seems very small.

I could live with the brightners in the H. Photo Matte (aka becoming 
infinite.) but see no reason to pay extra.

With the Piezo software drivers it seems to be pretty easy to go from 
EAM with the Epson Photo Profile to a Turner or German Etching with 
the Orwell Profile and only have to do some minor tweaks.

Todd, you are using Paul Roark's inks and workflows. Do you have to 
do much adjustment when you switch from EAM to an art paper?
