Digital BW, The Print

Hi Clayton. I've been using the paper for some time now. While I don't
have a K3 machine, I have used it with an old 3000 and a 1200 and a
7000 utilizing the old Mis DDK, Mis VMK and Eboni inks at various
times. It has always given stellar results in D'max, routinely giving
1.7 and better for me. In one case when I used QTR to underprint VMK
with a touch of cyan in a sort of dual BO mode, it approached nearly
1.8 for me. The only quarrel I might have with it is that it can look
slightly grayed next to a warmer paper in low uv lighting.

Regards
Duane
