Digital BW, The Print

Murray - I've not used VM but I have played with RGB workflows and I suggest
you do the following:
Printout Paul's 25step wedge. Let it dry. Scan it. Then using the 'info'
tools measure all the wedges - including the individual wedges for 0-5 and
100-95%. use the eyedropper on 3x3. If you see deviations, go into the
individual curves and adjust as necessary. Initially (cos it is easier) just
do a greyscale curves move to compensate - if it is too complicated a
problem you'll need to get into the 'real' Roark curves
