Digital BW, The Print

The curves are _very_ paper sensitive, what papers are you using?

I find that I get good results on Legion Photo Matte (fine) , Somerset
Velvet (excellent), and Eclipse Satine (acceptible, but not great) but
still have posterization problems with EAM and most other papers I've
tried. 

I have better luck with Tyler's curves than Paul's. Also I have had
better luck with the OS9 drivers than the OSX ones, though currently I
am only using OSX. 

Don't give up, it can work, it is just going to take some practice,
and lots and lots of stepwedges.
