Digital BW, The Print

I had one particular single weight I loved to ferrotype, but no one else seems to like it. For matt, I have no complaints with ink. Peering into the baked emulsion is what I like - very much like the jelly smear of thick kodachrome. I foresee "baking" ink prints, too, but I'm in no position to follow the experiments.
