Digital BW, The Print

Maris,
Apparently when Ilford says Smooth Pearl is designed to be "instant 
dry" with pigment inks, they are refering to the inks in your C80.  
The MIS FS prints I did yesterday still smudge on the Smooth Pearl. 
MIS FS has the same slight bronzing and slow drying on the Smooth 
Pearl, the Classic Pearl and Epson Colorlife.  Come to think of it, 
the Epson pigments have always been better on glossy papers.  The 
2000P prints on Epson Luster.  

Jeff,
Epson Colorlife=Ilford Classic, very interesting.  I compared B&W and 
color prints on these papers and it looks like you are right.  The 
main difference is price.  The Ilford Classic can be as low as 
$.40/sheet in a 250 box and the Colorlife is almost twice that.  My 
wife and I thought we could detect a slight difference in texture, 
but it's hard to say.  
  
Julian and anyone using sprays to eliminate drying/bronzing problems,
I guess I'll look for the Krylon Crystal Clear UV.  The Lyson 
Printguard says to let the print dry first and that could be a long 
time.  Any other suggestions and sources are appreciated.
Thanks, Hap
