Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Paul, one question I have about using the the Edwal LFN that I was not sure about 
when reading your pdf was, is the LFN used in place of, or in addition to the Photo-Flo in 
the C-6 base?  Also, if I experiment some and try to dilute the HP BK with GLOP, instead of 
the C-6 base, do you think I should add some LFN to the mix as well?

Your input is greatly appreciated,
Randy
