Digital BW, The Print

I have seen a couple of nice prints from Spectratones on glossy media - I
would say that the colour is neutral until you get the 'wrong' light and
then you do see a magenta cast to them. But it wasn't a massive deal...

But I'm not sure my experience counts as they were apparently printed using
the Piezo driver, in which I have a  'commercial interest' ;) They were
dot-free prints though :)
