Remember Mr. Reichmann also thought enough of the 2000p to make prints for
sale.  I would not have given them away myself.  Everybody has a different
idea about what 'good' quality is.  That being said, I have doe quite a few
B&W prints with Ultrachromes (Photo black on lustre) and my biggest
complaint is not metamerism but the fact that when you print a 21 step
grayscale ramp at 90% the ramp goes to solid black all the way to 100%.  I'm
betting this can be fixed with a better profile or RIP..
