Digital BW, The Print

I agree that the Innova and Permajet lines make a good substitute for H.
PhotoRag -- much less flaking.  The Epson UltraSmooth-PremierArt Fine Art
Hot Press papers also have virtually no flaking, a more robust surface, but
a bit lower dmax.  (With the new 4800, the Innova/Permajet coating may take
a hit in dmax, and the UltraSmooth-PremierArt coating gets a boost.)
