Digital BW, The Print

If you look at Wihelm research's R800 report, HWM is listed to have a
longer archival rating than the EEM. And so it works with UC ink. I
think HWM just have less OBA so it's not as white (and thus doesn't
change as much).

However, the HWM is slightly thiner than the EEM (9 mil vs 10), and I
found it slightly "wet/soaked" once out of the R800. You have to put
it on a flat service right away to dry, otherwise your finger presses
will be there when the print's dry.
