Digital BW, The Print

Charles Brandes
I am trying to develop curves for VM on the 1160 using somerset Velvet and am not making much progress.  The curves that Paul supplied for Epson Matte are too dark.  Could I have the curves that you use?

  I use the MIS VM inks, so my info might not be super-useful.

  However, I've printed with both of the papers you mentioned. I
  _really_ like the Legion Photo Matte, though it's a little pricey. The
  Epson Heavyweight Matte I don't like so well - Epson Archival Matte is
  much nicer, and not tooooooo much more expensive. 

  My choice right now - EAM for proofing, Somerset Velvet for final
  prints, Epson Watercolor when I need to save money on less critical
  final prints. (But I really don't like the epson watercolor, and have
  basically decided to use it only for accordian-book projects, where
  it's important to keep costs down because it's too easy to screw up.)
