Digital BW, The Print

While I was trying to solve the Pizza Wheel marks and roller marks 2
weeks ago I came across something.

Even after I realized I was supposed to be using MK, not PK and got
all my profiles set up so I wasn't throwing massive amounts of black
on the paper I was still getting marks on the print surface. 
Everything was by the book now on my method.

I found the following.  I had a box of Crane SR, Hana' Fine Art Pearl
and Innova F Glossy.  I was doing images on each as tests to decide on
one, well maybe 2 papers to use when I want the air dried fiber look.

In every case the Crane would get roller marks, the Hana 50% of the
time and the Innova never.  Yeah never.  

I'll throw a guess out there that the way the Innova absorbs the ink
is fast enough that even on a print with lots of very dark or black
areas by the time the paper hits the rollers and pizza wheels it is
dry enough not be marked. Even if my theory is wrong it seems to work
that way.

B&W print fans that we are sometimes you have to print color.  Another
find was that all 3, and I will include a 4th, the Epson P'Luster I
proof on for these papers all need to dry after they come out of the
printers.  The shadow areas aren't neutral till they dry. They may
have a green tint. 

 Once they dry they are OK except the B&W favorite the Innova F Gloss.
The Innova shadows never loose the tint.  The Crane and the Hana do
and both are very nice color papers.  I lean towards the Crane Sr here.

Hope this helps someone out there.  I really like all 3 papers.
