Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

Could you run through your workflow for printing with the MIS inks on 
the Eclipse Velvet paper?  Any particular curve or adjustment you 
used?

Todd mentioned that he had tried the Eclipse Satine with MIS and 
gotten result similar to the poor results I got with Piezo inks on 
both the Velvet and Satine.

Thanks,
Martin
