As many of you know a limitation of the Peizo inks is their difficulty sitting "on" paper surfaces other than matte. I think that Tina has described hereself as a "matte person". I like a matte finish OK, but all my traditional darkroom work is on glossy fiber papers. I have just tried Ilford Smooth Galerie Pearl, but find that although it looks nice, the Peizo pigment is quite fragile on the surface of the paper and smears if touched. Any thoughts? OK, the test print was taken with a 50 Summicron . . .(desperate flailing to keep post on-topic). If I can't figure this one out I'll have a 99 sheet box of the stuff to sell next Friday . . . cheeeep!
