Digital BW, The Print

Had a nice visit with Robert Rex yesterday.  He is now traveling with
Morrison coated Museo prints (PiezoBW and Color Piezo) if you would like to
see something sooner than the next print exchange. Martin, also saw your
coated Museo prints for the first time.  They look nice...really like the
image...but I see the application problems you were having.  I don't think
you will have the samme problems on Museo with my formula.  Museo 365g is
probably the easiest paper out there to coat...followed closely by Eclipse
and Photo Rag.

Robert

PS  Robert can't say enough about the Indelible Ink set...that I think was
talked about briefly several weeks back...I think I'm going to check it out
for color...and maybe run some duotones.
