Digital BW, The Print

I have tried the other side of the paper and am still getting bad 
tonal seperation (especially the drop-off to pure black). I'll try 
loading another set of carts next, as the current ones are low and 
might be a source of problem.

I'm not going to let this paper beat me, damn it! ;-)

Best, Jamie.
