Thanks for the plug for the articles.  I think it's important to
mention that with other printing techniques the significance of the
front end gamma setting may be quite different than with BO.  My
statements were based on my observations with that technique.  Using
partitioning curves is a very different animal and the BO gamma
concepts may not apply.  I don't know for certain since I don't use
those other methods, but anyway, it would be good to keep this in
mind.

Regards,
Clayton
