Digital BW, The Print

Sorry, Clayton, I don't really agree with that.  Most things between 0 and
~13 in PS are too black for an ink to differentiate -- they're just black.
Same applies to white. Anything above 244-246 is a specular highlight;
therefore, just paper white. 

Just MHO.  Not a new thread!!

=Hello Rickard,
=
=> Can I improve the black level in my images in any way? Am I doing
=> anything wrong?
=
=One thing is to check the black areas with the densitometer in 
=Photoshop and make sure they are at RGB 0 (or 100% on the % scale).  
=If they are at a value greater than 0 they aren't truly black, 
=and this will show up with the pigment inks, where they might 
=get by with the dye inks because of their greater Dmax.
