Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the input to all.

My testing has been done during evening hours and I haven't 
had a good look in other light conditions, maybe thats it.

I also noticed that when I set PS color space to PS5 default as 
instructed, the gray space is set to 2.2, yet the instructions say to 
set it for 1.8. Anyone else notice this? So I set it to PS5 default 
then change gray to 1.8.
