Digital BW, The Print

When printing pictures with a majority of near Dmax areas I was
getting broad (regular 1/8-1/4 inch) texture scuffing look, both
horizontal and vertical.  I couldn't cut the density back any further
without losing my Dmax.

Problem solved.... I mounted (with gaffer's tape) a muffin fan blowing
down into the print cavity which (I assume) speeds the drying of the
ink so there is no micro smeering by the print mechanism. 

FYI... Very nice prints now ..from a B&W darkroom guy.
