Digital BW, The Print

Truman,

Inkjet does a very good job at maintaining grain detail if the information
is in the scan. This is especially true for the 1280 and other Epson
printers that can print at 2880 dpi. With that setting I can bring out the
grain pattern of Tmax 400 developed in pyro PMK developer which tends to
obscure the grain. Pushed high speed 35mm film should not be a problem for
inkjet prints.

Subject: [Digital BW] What if grain is "necessary"
