Digital BW, The Print

Hi Martin, I only got 2 sheets in the sample pack, and I have one left I'm
going to use to profile my printer to my recently profiled monitor. The
first print I made with the first sheet was perfect. The blacks were REALLY
deep right out of the printer, but I'm using the MIS Variable tone cold
inks. I haven't tried the paper with piezo inks. I ordered 3 boxes yesterday
from media street, so I'll be doing a lot of testing shortly. Steadman says
the paper tests out to be acid free and pH neutral with tester pen. It looks
like we Finally have THE paper we have wanted for so long!
