Innova Soft Texture - was For Tyler Re: Epson Ultrasmooth Fine Art, VFA, HPR .

Paul,

That is interesting. I certainly hope that black motteling never
happens with me. I have done a lot of black and white and color work
with the Soft Texture including 40"x60" things with lot of black and I
have never experienced that. I usedd to use German Etching (also alpha
cellulose) for this moderately smooth range of texture and now I use
this. It had better not start screwing up with me.
