Digital BW, The Print

Yea, I've been tossing around all my tests on Silver Rag and I've yet
to see one scratch or scuff mark on any of them. Their Museo Max paper
is also very tough, which is what I like about it, though I'm not
happy with that papers ability to absorb a lot of black without
bleeding. We just need a little bit smoother surface on the Silver Rag
to cut down on that sheen and we'll really be in business.
