Digital BW, The Print

Gabriel-

I've printed only about 100 sheets in 13 x 19, so I'm not sure about 
the roll.  These sheets are fine.  I'm just guessing from the "hand" 
of the paper that curling might be a problem.  It takes a set more 
like gelatin paper than cotton paper does.  I think Carl is probably 
right about very large sizes and "kinking."  I should be doing some 
17 x 25 shortly.
