Digital BW, The Print

Shilesh;

Initial reading was after a good blast with a hair dryer... 3 hrs or 
drying later its down to a mere 2.53. I can live with that.

The surface has a very fine-toothed pearl/semimatte finish, not too 
reflective, easy to live with. It's on the warm side: Lab readings on 
the white were:
L= 94.25  a= 1.37  b= -4.22  

No bronzing, but the Epson inks showed GD, being glossier than the 
paper surface. The MIS inks had almost no GD at all, but also had a 
lower dmax: 2.39 after 24hrs of dry-up 

I'll put it out in the torture window tomorrow,& keep you posted.

And a Happy New Year to you!

Steve Karafyllakis
