Digital BW, The Print

Thanks! I'll try it with the PhotoRag profiles and post my 
impressions here when I get a chance (hopefully early next week).

One other question:  In your original post you mentioned 
that: "Permajet has also sent me some papers. They now have a winner 
which was labeled "ISC" in the box I received. It may be the best 
paper I've ever used. It is said to be cotton, buffered, and have no 
optical brighteners. I have had not flaking with it yet, and it's 
dmax is the best of the cotton papers, equaling EAM at 1.67 (Eboni & 
1280), and beating PhotoRag (1.66) and PremierArt/UltraSmooth (1.61)."

Is this paper commercially available under the name "ISC" or did you 
receive a pre-release evaluation sample?  I looked on PermaJet's 
website and couldn't pick out the paper you're talking about.
