Digital BW, The Print

The problems with the MIS one that I

Are you using a paul roark curve? You'll get the dots without one.

> - the Lyson print is sharper

They should be identical

You should be using a roark curve and printing from a RGB File.

They are. Maybe one of the many settings you have to use is set wrong.

Post ALL of your settings.
