Digital BW, The Print

Hello Tyler,

How true.  Eboni BO on PR just sings.  With K3 I'm having a harder
time finding a setting that I really like.  I'm close, but nothing yet
that gives me the same chills up my spine as the former.

In the same vein as above, with Eboni BO VFA didn't excite me much,
but with K3 it has moved to my A-List.

It's worth trying Max, as it has a fine (as in tiny) texture.  And as
Walt has reported, it seems to be extremely scuff and burnish
resistant.  I dug into it with a thumbnail and still couldn't scrape
any ink off.

Clayton
