RE: [Digital BW] More on 'posterization again'

I am going to eat my words on my answer to your post previously. Sorry.
After further playing around and reading your past posts, I am finding
that I am having pretty well the exact problems you mention. Some prints
are perfect and some areas of others are featureless and seem posterized
as you mentioned. (Epson Archival Matte) I also see the greens in the
info palette maxing out at 255 in the worst affected areas after
applying Paul's curve. Some areas print perfect and others in the same
print are wacky as you describe. The detail is definitely there in my
files. They are digital files with full histograms. I hope someone can
enlighten us as to what is going on. I can send someone a file to try as
well to check if they get the same results.

Following up my own query from a couple of days ago about posterization
effects from the MIS sepia inks...
