Digital BW, The Print

I have very good results with the new Hahnemuhle Musem Etching 100%
rag paper. I've done hundereds of prints on it and haven't noticed one
scuff mark yet. It is a lot more durable and doesn't scuff like the
German Etching. It also has a better dmax than Innova and I consider
it a much superior paper, especially for black and white. It is my
favorite paper with the PiezoTone NK6 inkset.

I don't know about you guys, but I've found the Innva matte papers are
far more delicate before printing than after.
