Digital BW, The Print

Hey Dan!

Long time no hear! Do you mind if I put up copies of the resolution test
files on the Digital B&W Files section? Your resolution test patches might
also come in handy.

Wouldn't mind putting up a good portion of the info on your site as well.
Lots of info in there for anyone interested in working with Quads in CMYK
plus a wealth of other things.
