Digital BW, The Print

I use Lyson Quads in a Canon 900 and 9000, with what I think are wonderful 
results.  The 950 is the next iteration of the 900, with finer nozzles, but 
Lyson has told me that the Quads will work in the 950 as well.  I'm doing 
800-1000 prints to bind up into books as Christmas presents for various 
family members (been doing this for about 20 years - this is the first year 
entirely in the light and dry) and have settled on Legion Photo 
Matte.  It's brighter and heavier than the Epson matte papers, and while 
somewhat more expensive it's not a dollar a sheet as some of the fine 
papers seem to be (my local store sold it to me for under 40 cents a sheet 
when I ordered a bunch.)  If you like RC type prints, I'd suggest starting 
with the Ilford Classic Gloss and Classic Pearl papers - very wet 
darkroom-like results with those two, and they too are not all that expensive

Enjoy.

Cheers,
Kip
