Hello, Chris.  The problem is the matte black (MK) of K6 inks on F-type papers--they need 
photo black (PK).  The MKs on photo paper will rub off quite easily.  Not all of the F-type 
papers put the PK fact out front in their marketing but if it claims d-max in the high 2's it is a 
photo paper needing PK rather than MK.  Peizography is working on an inkset that will allow 
both paper types but it seems like it will be a while and it will only be for a Piezography 
brand paper.
