Digital BW, The Print

Thanks again Antonis.  I just downloaded OPM and gave it a whirl with  
my 2200, using your warm and cool profiles that were provided in the  
package.  You can use the blender.  I got some very nice looking step  
wedges and full prints using blends in the range of 50% warm/cool to  
70% warm and 30% cool.  Needless to say I'm very impressed with the  
software and the results.  The blender feature is really fantastic and  
your "experimental" profiles for the 2200 are excellent.
