Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for everyone's thought on the issue of print surface durability.
Maybe I was expecting to much.

  Why would I want to do that? It would likely leave a mark on the surface
of
  the paper or the coating on the paper. I rubbed with the pad of my finger
and
  there was no effect at all. I would expect to see some damage to the print
  surface if I used my fingernail. I checked a 13 x 19 print on
  Gold Silk and there is no problem with ink smear, or flaking. If you are
  using K 3 inks, did you shake the cartridges to mix the pigments? There
should
  not be any rub-off of those inks after they have dried.
