Digital BW, The Print

Hi,
I did a print yesterday and from straight on it looked perfect, but on an angle the light caught a sort of blotchy appearance, esp in the dark areas of the print.

It was on a 2100 with Ultra Chromes on Epson Archival Matte.

thanks,
Richard

That's EAM for you.

I always get this with the EEM (new name for the Arhival Matte) on a 
2400.  I use the paper only for proofs.  The VFA and HPR are 
completely free of this problem.
