RE: [Digital BW] Tech Print Exchange Results

Hi Clayton,
 
thanks for taking the time to publish your comments, this is very valuable information. I have one question, though: the first review reads "1160,  Epson Driver,  MIS FSN,  Randall/Wolf Curves": given that the Randall and Wolf workflows are very different (only the former using a partitioning curves), it's not clear to me how the evaluated print was printed.
I suspect, given that you say it's dotless, that Randall curves were used, but then I also see you rated the shadow detail as "poor, bordering on very poor", which I find hard to believe, as I get very good results with this workflow on the Tyler Zs test (although I use FS inks, not FSN, which may make a difference).
I am willing to submit a print, if you're interested, and if the fact that I'm in Italy isn't a problem (I have lots of bandwidth, though, so I could download the test image).
 
Alessandro
