Digital BW, The Print

That's ok, I have some off center tastes. I thought those inks on
that paper had a very interesting cool to neutral platinum 
print look (on a warm base) that is very hard to get these days.
Folks after big Dmax
wouldn't like it. Oce watercolor paper seems to be the 
same as Xtreme Gamut Gelatin Art, Media Street Artist Water Color
Paper 140 lb., and Red River Caspian Art Card.
Pigment inks generally do not work well on gelatin coated papers,
true to form, the Cone inks had problems on it. I got 
reasonable results by working with a RIP and some difficult
separation curves, but didn't pursue it as I liked the results 
with the Cone inks on clay coated papers better.
Another problem is that the pigments take too long to take to the
paper, so the pizza wheels leave tracks of wet ink.
