Digital BW, The Print

Paul, this is a really great, straightforward writeup of the procedure that
worked well for me.

After reading it through, the only question I am wondering about the
measurement of the 100% patch for the lighter colors. It seemed to me (when
I did it) that I should use the last patch that showed a non-zero density
delta, and by that I'd save redundant ink for that shade (through operator
error and paper feed problems, I've had a couple of puddling episodes).

Is there a strong reason to read the 100% patch or is it just something
that's worked well historically?

Thanks!
Pete
