Digital BW, The Print

Daniel,

I guess I'm stumped on this one.  I'm surprised that you got the same  
results with 1440x1440 and 1440x720 HQ.  When I first tried doing a  
calibration at 1440x1440 on my 2200 the ink just flooded the paper at  
the higher densities, so our systems seem to be behaving differently.
