Digital BW, The Print

I can't see how that has anything to do with it. The Innova matte Fiba
print curles very badly as does the alpha Innova Soft Texture, Epson
Enhanced Matte. While most of the rag papers I use do not, except
Premier Art Hotpress and I think that is because the coating is thick
but the paper is thin.
