You might consider not buying any more matte black and trying > Ilford Smooth Pearl paper instead.<<<<< Hi Jim, We use the Smooth Pearl paper for colour printing and Photo Black ink with the colour inks and it works beautifully. However, all our fine art printing is on Epson Velvet Fine Art 13 X 19 paper and it sucks ink up like going over Niagara Falls. :-( But man it makes beautiful prints. And we print 8 1/2 X 11 B&W prints on Enhanced matte paper and some 11.7 X 16.5 also on the same paper, so we have to stay with the Matte Black for best print look and the gradations it gives. One can't beat scanned Leica negs with this paper and matte Black ink as it produces phenomenal quality prints. ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
