Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

I haven't used any glop but gloss differential is not obvious as it  
would be with an RC print.  The sheen appears uniform in the  
landscape prints I've made so far.  If you had large areas without  
ink then you might notice some GD.  I purchased the HPR Satin from  
Lexjet.  One other thing I've noticed is some ink rub off in black  
areas (using MK).  I tried using PK, but dmax is too low.  So far the  
best I've been able to get in the dmax department is a 1.72 using MK.
