Digital BW, The Print

I agree with you Greg. I found that sometimes several days were needed
to get full drydown as well. In my case the differences were shown not
only via instrument but were readily visible between a fresh print and
one several days old side by side. They were not related to local
humidity level either as that was fully controled.

Regards
Duane
