Digital BW, The Print

Thanks to jerry & Mark for their suggestions.  I do have color 
vision software for calibrating my monitor and profiling papers.  
When the CIS and the new MIS inks arrived, I just couldn't 
controll myself to begin doing tests in the proper fashion, I just 
had to jump in and try to see what some of my favorite images 
would look like with the MIS pigs.  I knew what I had to do, I was 
just looking for a shortcut.
I'd rather be printing than testing!
As far as the selenium tone that I was always partial to, it differs 
from the classic, very cool blue to purple look.  In the old days, 
1970's, portriga rapid was always my favorite paper, but I didn't 
like it as warm as it came out of the box.  I used to dilute the 
dektol, 1 to 3, and lengthen my development times to 5 or 6 
minutes in that dektol, that cooled off the warm tone quite a bit, 
then with slight selenium toning, if memory serves me 6 or 8 ozs 
to the gallon of perma wash, cooled it off a bit more.  This 
produced a beautiful slightly warm tone with coolish shadows.
I'm not trying to match that color, in fact I'm open to any color that 
enhances the image at this point.  As I recall even different 
grades of portriga toned differently.  There was never any 
consistency to the stuff.
On an "archival" note, I remembered a story about Joel 
Meyerwitz, from the late 70's when he was selling tons of 
Capelight C prints.  As I recall, you could purchase images in 
either a C print or for several times that cost you could order a 
dye transfer print.  When asked about the archival qualities of the 
C print, and asked about it fadeing and changing in not that 
many years Joel's reply was, I'm paraphrasing here..
"Nothing lasts forever, if you want a print with a longer life span, 
spend the extra money and buy the Dye transfer print,  Even a 
Mercedes that costs lots more than one of my C prints insn't 
going to be around for 75 years..so stop complaining."
I guess that about sums it up.
Thanks again to Mark & Jerry.
