Digital BW, The Print

I don't use any back end settings. I have a shadowboost curve that 
raises the lower values from what it would be with the front end of 
only 15% dot gain. I know I have still got a lot to learn but this 
gives me consistent results with almost eny paper I use; which is 
Epson Photo Paper, Office Depot Matte paper, and Office Depot Glossy 
Photo Paper--and without any changes other that changing the front 
end to 15% and the shadowboost curve and printing BO. I may be going 
around my elbow to get to my thumb, but so far it works pretty good 
for me still to be a new BO printer. 

P.S. I like it and you like it and that's the only ones we need be 
concerned about.
