Digital BW, The Print

Pieris,

>I thought the Dmax fade could be stopped with spray?

Yes, PremierArt spray will kick the dmax back up.  Losing gloss is a major
part of the problem -- and also, I believe, why the PK is not doing better.
What is happening is not fading as we usually use that term, it's gloss
loss.  Since many will not spray prints, I need to compromise the total
carbon on the paper (ink load) with the realities of gloss loss on the
papers that are most important to us.  I think I can do this, and I doubt
MIS's PK was designed from this perspective (by MIS's supplier & its
chemist).
