Peter, thanks. I've search the list down to March 2005 without 
finding your post. So, I'm assuming that you printed K3 glossy BW, 
can you tell me whether that was in ABW or with a RIP ; with or 
without color inks ? My understanding of your quote is your comment 
was on the paper, but the general look of the prints were satisfying 
to you ?

I too print matte, but sometimes I feel like I'd wish it was semi-
glossy.
