Digital BW, The Print

I have done custom paper setups for Silver Rag, F-Gloss, and F-Gloss warm tone, This includes going through the platen gap adj. procedure.  What surprised me was that F-Gloss warm tone had less of an issue with dry time then the whiter F-Gloss. Silver Rag had the least scratching, if any, but I increased the dry time for these papers to 1 sec. to be safe. At 1 sec I still had marks on the standard F-Gloss. It does print beautifully on the 3800 though.
