Digital BW, The Print

Hi Peter,

Apologies in advance... as this is one of those posts that does not answer
your question, but raises a subject you may already be aware of. That is:

Don't print on Somerset Velvet Enhanced with _dye_ inks if you want your
image to last. It prints very nicely, but print lifetime is reputedly in the
months. It does print VERY nicely with pigment(ed) inks. [The manufacturer
only recommends pigment inks, so this is not an attack on them!]

So... what ARE you trying to achieve, and with what level of accuracy?
