Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the info on the new base inks -- that's very good news!

Will you be running tests on these papers printing without the PK for 
those of us who are running Eboni in the K position and want to mix 
the two dark grays to retain matte printing capability?

I'm particularly interested in Premium Luster and Semimatte. Also, do 
you anticipate any changes in matte paper performance?

As always, thanks for all you do...

Cheers!
Richard
