Digital BW, The Print

Hello Kirk,

I have been too busy to do extensive testing with the new Entrada, but
my preliminary tests seem to indicate that the flaking problem is
improved.  Once I get some mileage on the paper I'll update the
article.

I don't know whether their actual coating formula has changed.  During
my conversation with their tech guy he talked about production and
finishing techniques as the source of the flaking problem, not the
formula itself.   But it seems to me it would be easy enough to find
out: make a print and see what it looks like.

Regards,
Clayton
