Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Paul. I knew there was a blotch problem w/Museo but didn't 
realize it was that bad.

Is it also that bad with the Media Street color ink set you use 
(Gen3?) too or just with quad tones?

Do you need a distinct (from EAM) set of curves for Eclipse Satine 
and for the Hahnemuhle PhotoRags or just adjust the sliders or what? 
I'm using Sepia-Neutral or Gen4 on 1160s if that matters. And on the 
old photos for which I use Sepia-Neutral, the blacks seem never to be 
very black, if that matters. Maybe that's why I haven't noticed the 
blotchiness. But of course some old photos are themselves blotchy.

Thanks.

Sam
