Re: [Digital BW] No answer

Vinny, we know the problem must be in your system somewhere, because so
many people on the list get 
great results with German etching paper.  Have you tried printing 100,
75, 50, and 25 position squares of gray?  Do they all print smoothly? 
Do you get a deep black when you do this? How about a long gradient from
black to white? Are pieces of it missing, or are there big jumps in
density? Is your picture high key, or fairly normal?  How about other
pictures... Same problem?

If you don't get it solved, send me all your settings, and printer model
#. Maybe you just have one little setting wrong. That can do it.
