Same thing here on an 1160. I can see it with naked eye 6 inches away 
but only under an Ott-lite held at 3 inches or so and in even toned 
areas in the densities you describe. I think that's good enough for 
me.<g>

Interestingly, when I use MIS FS inks with Woolf's workflow, it IS 
visible farther away and with other light sources. If I use FS with 
Roark's VM curves it appears as desribed above (like the VM inks, 
except light tones are off of course). When I use FS inks with Piezo 
driver, I can't even see the slightest under the Ott-lite, but I have 
problems with the darker transistions that would have to be fixed 
(could just be my personal preference really) by a transform curve or 
something...
