Digital BW, The Print

Walt,

Very accurate description of the Harman paper.  The Harman and Ilford  
papers each have qualities that I like, but each also have slight  
detractions that I dislike.  I haven't tried either the Epson or HM  
papers, but it sounds like I'm not missing much with them  
(particularly price).
