Digital BW, The Print

"Photo Rag has to be tweaked a bit
differently than the other 2 papers."

	Jerry, could you elaborate on this a little bit?  I am using the
Photo Rag copy from Media Street and I would love to get the deeper blacks
from the generations inks.  I was wondering how you go about "tweaking" it.
I also use mostly the warm Tyler curves, would this still work OK or should
I use Paul's curves for this process?  Thanks.

I'm using Bright white satine. Never tried the soft white.  I use his
curves as is for EAM paper. Then for Eclipse, I darken the image on
screen by 15 percent in the Levels Dialogue box.  Just take down the
middle slider to 85. (assuming it's 100 when you open the dialogue box).
This is with the Enhanced K Generations in use with the MIS VM inkset.
The VM black is not all that black, and you will find a nice deepening
of the black with the enhanced K. It's nice on the Eclipse satine paper,
but nicer on EAM and photo rag. Photo Rag has to be tweaked a bit
differently than the other 2 papers.
