Digital BW, The Print

I just printed my "Jumbo Rocks" image -- 
http://paulroark.com/Jumbo-Rocks.html -- with the 1400, QTR, black 
only, HP PK, 2880, uni-directional, on Red River UltraPro Satin 2.0.  
I think I can find the pizza wheel marks on close inspection if a 
reflection is on the surface, but they are not obvious or 
objectionable.  It may be that the satin surface helps to hide the 
marks.  (I don't have any Ilford Gold on hand.)  Also, the QTR 2880, 
uni-directional may help by slowing up the printing speed.  You might 
try this approach with either or both of the dark grey inks in the 
UT14 set, with no glop and no light inks, and see how it looks.
