Digital BW, The Print

Ken, I got pretty warm results with the warm curve, certainly as warm as
piezo. Never had posterizations related to Paul's curves.

If you like deep blacks, I wouldn't use uncoated papers, they're very
weak on them. UNless you are using a RIP.

Also, my prints with the warm curves aren't muddy. 

If you really want WARM, get the MIS archival color inks and print sepia
tone prints, you can get them as warm as you like!
