Digital BW, The Print

Renan-

With digital printing you need to start with a step wedge- it will identify
where in the tonal scale you are having problems.  Also, Jerry asked that
you list all of your settings, so that he could help you.  Try printing out
a step wedge, and in the process, note every setting you see listed in the
page setup, printing, and PhotoShop color settings dialog boxes.  Then write
back, and tell us what those settings are.  Without that, there's no way to
tell what's wrong.

Also, which printer and computer OS are you using?

I use the Paul's curves and his workflow.What  I see is a soft gray scale on
my screen until I load the curves then I see some strips and
these strips are printed on the paper.
No Bill, I don't print a step wedge.

Can you post ALL of your settings. Every single one you use. It will be
helpful in diagnosing
the trouble. I use the same setup and get NO
banding or posterization at all.
