Thanks Tony.  The Museo 365 is a joy to coat...its simply beautiful
paper...the coating lays beautifully.  I love the way the BW images gain
"presence" with the coating...but honestly the color piezo image that I gave
Robert blows me away coated.  For those who haven't seen it its a photo I
took at a "magic mushroom" market in Zhong Dian China...a little rural
village in the foothills of the Himalyias.  The photo is of three Tibetan
woman with color garb and baskets crowding around a vendor's table with
shrooms.  The colors are almost unbelievably vivid.  The thing that captured
me about the coated photo is the incredible dimensionality that the bright
colors take on...their tonal range is enhanced just like the blacks are in a
BW image. Color is incredible on Mueso...absolutely my favorite paper for
color applications.  Robert Rex says its even more incredible with the
Indelable Ink set...we'll see.
