Anyway I printed them on Ilford Gallerie Gloss. Yes, the ink would rub right 
off (MIS and Piezo quads) so I over sprayed them With Lumijet image shield 
and they look great! A little on the ilfochrome look side but nice press 
prints for scanning that seemed to be able to take some serious 
handling(slight bronzing) I will not try that in the darkroom again.
They are on there way to Prague Czechoslovakia!
