Digital BW, The Print

Bruce,

>... I still long for the deeper blacks ...

MIS PKN printed with a C86 on Kirkland paper sprayed with PremierArt Print
Shield holds a cold 2.4+ dmax, has no bronzing or metamerism, and is very
lightfast (not to mention having a washable surface).  There has never been
a B&W medium that can do what we're doing -- on the cheap at that.
