Digital BW, The Print

Jon,

Spot your prints with the inks you used. With the 4 or 6 inks in each set
you have a wide enough range of dilution to match tone easily and the hue
will be exact.

For some reason, spotting inkjet prints on watercolor papers is very
difficult. I haven't had much need for it, but the few times I tried it
were with diluted inkjet ink, and I wasn't happy with the results. 
Never had a problem with photo paper though.
