Digital BW, The Print

Doug,

>>>I balanced [UC VM 4.3} on my 1160 using the standard curves.<<

All the usual papers plus RC papers -- if you use a black ink that is
compatible, like MIS 7600 Photo Black, UltraChrome Photo Black, or Epson
Archival Black.

I tested the inks and curves on Epson Premium Luster, Ilford Smooth Pearl,
and (cheap/readily available at Costco) Epson Photo Paper.  For the most
part they print OK with the existing curves.  The warm curve is the only one
that seems to be off enough to be a problem.

I'm sure detailed profiles would help with any paper (and printer), but the
existing curves make fine prints and a good starting point for those who
want to tweak the system to optimize it for any particular RC paper.
