Digital BW, The Print

Jerry,
I never found that the pencil put down an acceptable amount of lead on the
glossy prints for me.  Perhaps it's because I'm left handed and I 'push' my
pencils, and cannot put much pressure without tearing the surface.

This is not a big deal.  Idid not mean to imply that there was something *wrong*
with a pencil on a glossy surface....It just did not work for me.
