Digital BW, The Print

I've been using the Ilford Classic Pearl for my pigment Epson C80 without smudging or drying problems.  Maybe the recommendation is reversed?

| Hello from Iowa,
| I wanted to check back and see if anyone has had more experience with 
| the Ilford Pearls.  The Classic is recommended for dye based inks so 
| I have been profiling it with the Epson oem inks for color printing 
| and so far it looks very good.  The Smooth Pearl supposedly works 
| with pigment inks and is fast drying.  Well, the tone with MIS FS is 
| beautiful, but 4 hours after printing I can still smudge ink in the 
| midtones.  I'm hoping someone has had it longer and knows that it 
| really dries.
| Thanks, Hap
