Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

The only thing I don't like about printing Eboni BO on RC papers is the 
sensitivity of the print to rub-off right out of the printer and the 
necessity for spraying, otherwise the prints are beautiful after 
spraying.  I prefer the new "K-less" (no black ink) method of printing 
to RC papers with QTR and either the UT or UT2 inks because there is no 
bronzing or gloss differential and you do not have to spray unless you 
intend to display the prints un-glazed.
