Digital BW, The Print

Sam, 

I am always one to "appreciate" rather than "measure,"  so it is just as well you did not ask for my opinion...(grin).

  I'm more curious to know whether Mike, and others who have tried 
  both, agree with Della on this point in particular:

  The only reason I didn't ask Steadman after he posted in reaction to 
  Della is that I don't think he's tried the various MIS workflows 
  Della thought inferior in this regard.

  This separation (or not) of tones is a matter of fact - is 
  measurable? - and not opinion isn't it? I'm curious to know the 
  details because I assume there could be a difference which is 
  measurable but not appreciable.
