Digital BW, The Print

It's not the quantity but the quality of black. this shot for eg
http://www.foundobjectsgallery.com/holga/pages/dancer_jpg.htm prints great
on PR but really 'gritty' on museo, almost posterised. I'll try making a
'lighter' print and then coating once I've got th estuff. I'll try the
formula from the files page. I'm in the UK soon so I should be able to pick
the stuff up.
