Digital BW, The Print

Hi all -

I've only posted a few times here and I am still relatively new to the "art of digital printing". I 
have an Epson 2400 which I absolutely adore! I just picked up a sample pack of Hahnemuhle 
paper and fell instantly in love with the Museum Etching paper, however, it seems I have 
expensive taste. I have a part time gig working for Utrecht art supplies and am just learning 
about Golden's digital ground. Has anyone here used it? I imagine if I can work with it, it may 
be cheaper to buy a good Fabriano or Arches paper with the ground applied rather than the 
Hahnemuhle? I've read Golden's tech sheet, though and I am a bit apprehensive to 
experiment with it using my beloved 2400. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like InkAid http://www.inkaid1.com/ . Guess you would have to  
do a price comparison using it plus your labor vs pre-coated HME.
