Digital BW, The Print

Hello Helen,

What a neat idea.  It's a good practical real world test that anyone
can relate to.  I like Fiba, it's nice to know it can withstand this.
 It's hard smooth surface produces very high resolution, and excellent
dmax and contrast.  My biggest complaint is its propensity to curl - a
bit _too_ much like darkroom paper in that regard <g>.

Thanks for the report.

Regards,
Clayton
