Digital BW, The Print

Bob,

Not to jump in for Clayton, but it means to set your gray working space
(Edit|Color Settings) to Dot Gain 20%, or convert
to this profile just prior to printing. I was getting very poor results on
my 1160 using a Gray Gamma 2.2 profile, but, now that
I'm using DG 20, I'm getting WYSIWYG results.
