Digital BW, The Print

Hello, Paul
I would be curious to know if you printed those step wedges on an 
1160? If so, I will do more tests with somerset on my VM/1160, and 
try to get a workflow established. 

I have a few other questions:
Was there considerable dot gain with your prints? Did you have other 
curves in there to pare back the ink flow on the uncoated paper? Did 
you try a test print of one of your images for comparison?

thanks for looking into uncoated papers,
ken
