Digital BW, The Print

Having recently received a Tucker Ultrachrome print...I can attest that they
are lovely. No crossover and no metamerism that I can detect. One warning to
those interested in the Ultrachromes though...is that the dmax is poor
except on EAM  (the Ultrachrome EAM dmax beats MIS-FS/EAM by about 0.1) .
Photorag isn't bad but it is lower than the black you get from MIS FS black
on photo rag (about .07 lower).  Overall the photo matte blacks are very
poor without coating.
