Digital BW, The Print

I agree, very nice paper and so far you can't beat the price/quality  
with competing fiber papers.  I'm using it primarily for printing  
warm toned images on my Epson 4000 with MIS inks and the prints are  
very good with dmax 2.5+, minimal bronzing and GD.  It doesn't do as  
well on my 1800 with 3PKN+glop because of bronzing, but otherwise OK.
