Digital BW, The Print

That's certainly my understanding.  If you tear either Crane SR or Da Vinci
you can not see a thin plastic barrier unlike when you do the same to Epson
Premium Semi-Matte.  My question for those with greater experience with RC
longevity is: was it the resin barrier that cracked or the coating sitting
on it (or both)?
