Digital BW, The Print

I couldn't print all cool or all warm. Seems to me that subject 
matter and intent dictate the choice. An image of machines with a 
suggestion of the impersonal, a lack of human warmth, would probably 
be best printed as a cooltone. An autumn landscape -- leaves, logs, 
and all, with a hint of the nostalgic -- might look best as a 
warmtone. Both would print well as "neutrals".
