Digital BW, The Print

I have to ask why are you scanning TMY in RGB mode when there is a 
specific TMY profile in Viewscan with a CI of .40 to .80

I have scanned TMY in 120 size with Viewscan on an Epson 1640 with 
very good result and with no grain. I scanned in 16 bits b&w mode 
using the TMY profile and ajusting for the CI.

Then using the right sharpening method, result were quite good.
