Digital BW, The Print

I've been handling prints by Pablo Kolodny who really is a master printer.
He gave me some nudes to print/scan. These are images which go from deep
deep black to upper end skin tone - no white point!! I can't come close. If
I print on glossy I get close-ish. Its going to be a few weeks before i get
the time to start experimenting with coatings. I'm a better printer
digitally than I am 'wet' so I'm sticking with inkjet - also stop bath kills
my asthma!
