Digital BW, The Print

Antonis,

I've just started experimenting with OPM on my 2200 and I'm not sure 
what you meant below - should the file actually be set to 720 dpi or 
should the printer output be set to 720 (as opposed to 1440 or 2880)? 
I haven't purchased IJC so I can't control the curves supplied with 
OPM but I do like the Blender option where I can mix warm and cool 
curves. I've found 70% warm and 30% cool to give a nice neutral (to 
my eye) tone.

I've also FINALLY successfully installed Roy Harrington's QuadToneRIP 
(many thanks Roy for all your troubleshooting help!) and while his 
neutral curve is warmer than the above mix in OPM, the tonal 
gradations seem smoother. Now for some curve tweaking!
