Digital BW, The Print

That shiny business is exactly what I get.  I mentioned it to a friend
who said he didn't get it, but when I showed it to him he realized he
did in fact have it. 

On most prints I have to angle the print to the light to see it.  It
shows up the most if there are large black areas.  I talked to the
dealer who is also a repair service and they claimed not to know what
I was talking about.  I like the prints I get with the paper and
haven't seen yellowing in a year, but the shiny business is annoying.
