Digital BW, The Print

Clary

I tried with MIS colour PIGMENTS on an 890 which I believe is 
similar. My solution was simple. On a desaturated RGB file. Adjust 
ALL levels, Highlights, mids and shadows to 30y 20m. It appears 
quite strong, nut prints out less intense. Try 20y 14m if you want 
something more neatral.

I would be interested how you go as I am about to try the hextones 
sepia-neautral with 1280 curves,
