Digital BW, The Print

You said on "both matte and glossy papers".  On certain matte papers Nano NK
performs very well, eg HPR and HPR Satin.  It has a "normal" response on
Epson Archival Matte and PremierArt Hot Press.  Epson PK does slightly
better on RC papers but of course you have bronzing and gloss differential
to worry about.
