RE: [Digital BW] Ilford Gold Fibre Silk - Surface?

Richard,
I let it dry 48 hours or more and it still is very sensitive compared to matte prints. If you have a test print could you try just rubbing your finger nail across a dark area and see if it leaves a mark? I am printing only in BW and using the IGFS paper with my 3800 and the tones are some of the best I have seen but the softness of the ink on the paper or that it is not absorbed into the paper concerns me. I have not been spraying my prints and was hoping I would not need to in the future. I read the review about this paper on Luminous Landscape and was hoping that this would be the one I would be using for most of my digital work. 
Thanks,
Gary Wagner

  Not with my 4800 with K3 PK inks. Perhaps your inks needed more drying time.
