Digital BW, The Print

John,
I found that running the K3/2200 B&W prints through my R800 and laying 
down Epson glop actually decreased the D-Max slightly - by an average 
of 0.1 - and also produced occasional blemishes that had the appearance 
of minute light-coloured blisters. I didn't investigate further, mainly 
because of the lowering of D-Max.

I'm a bit baffled by the 822/824 thing, and we have had slightly 
different stories from Image Specialists ("824 has a little more gloss 
and it has replaced 822") and Weink ("IS only list 822 as Krystal 
Topkote. 824 is replacement glop.")

The bottle of 822 is marked as both Krystal Topkote and clear base. At 
the rate we're using it, the 500 ml won't last long so I'll try some 
824 in a while. If anything, I'd like a bit more gloss.

Best,
Helen
