Digital BW, The Print

Thanks, Steve.  I did try the platten gap adjustment, bumped it up to 
10, and it helped a bit, but maybe not enough to resolve it.  I 
wasn't sure (still not) whether the platten gap adjustment actually 
adjusts the rollers or the print head.  I thought it was the print 
head.  I will work on it, as it's a beautiful paper, I also like the 
Silver Rag, but the surface of the Innova for me is better.  If I can 
it to work.  If not, then I'll switch to the Crane.  Problem is I 
bought rolls of the Innova already, lots of paper to go through.

I did frame a print (Amalfi Coast) for someone that turned out fine, 
so the glass helps, but I still hope to eliminate it if possible.  
I'll try some more things and see if I can post a solution soon.
