Digital BW, The Print

I can't find any "profiles" at all for the 8300 for the True Black and White rip.  Will be interested to hear your experience with the new paper, but want something not as warm as Silver rag if possible.   J Vee

This is a much better method in my opinion than trying to make great curves for the canon driver. I'm seeing much cleaner neutral color and more consistent warm hues on these papers, printing 16 bit grayscale.

Now I have a customer who brings in 35 mm film along with the commercial scans done with development. He really loves the truly deep, cold, blacks they made for him as large proofs on glossy paper. I personally think there is quite a loss of detail in the deepest tones. I believe the look I want for him (20in or 30 in large prints) is as much as possible like my old Selenium toned Silver gelatin prints.
