Digital BW, The Print

BTW I am surprised you use Somerset Velvet.  I tried this paper and stopped
immediately due to its very low dMax capability and mottled blacks.  However
I am talking about the original Somerset made in England.  Perhaps you are
referring to the Epson version which I understand uses the same paper base
but Epson applies there own coating.

While I have no way to measure it, I have not seen this on the Ultrasmooth
and Somerset Velvet that I use.  I have tried the spray half the print trick
to visually compare, and see no negative effect.  On the Somerset it seems
to slightly increase saturation.  But, I might just be making that up in my
head.  I don't see it on the Ultrasmooth, however.  I'll try a step wedge to
take another visual look at it.
