Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

Were you getting ANY banding withn the Silver Rag?

I ran nozzle checks on both of my printers before and after printing 
on my C86, w/EZ inks, aND THE ePSON 4800 w/OEM inks, and I had 
banding on all five sheets. Even on one of the color prints I made on 
the 4800.

Other than that, I really like this paper. I had HIGHexpectations 
form this paper with B&W images and was pleased with the results.

Being in a B&W thinking mode, I guess< I wasn't expecting much. But 
the color print I made blew me away. The color was at least as good 
as ANY paper or cnavas I've used.
