Digital BW, The Print

Martin,
 Thanks so much for the tip.  These curves are
awesome!  Wow, what a difference..  The crv08 curve is
*very* smooth and quite warm.  The cld01 curve is
pretty smooth too, but seems to have blacker blacks.  
 I'm trying the rest of the curves now.  The test
prints I've done are already much smoother than the
lightjet prints I had made of the same image.
 What color space do you print with?  Adobe RGB 1998
seems to be working fine, just curious, though.
 Thanks again, and thanks to Tyler where ever you are!
