Digital BW, The Print

Hi Gareth,
That was the first thing I looked at initially with the first 
printer. The images I've tried printing were from a D100, shot with 
the RAW format and converted to 16bit tif. Histograms would show that 
everything was fine, no gaps, no "comb" spikes. I would post/send you 
a file but I have no webspace at the moment other than the 10mb they 
give you with cable. Here is a smaller zipped file that I can post to 
my space though.

This is an image I got from another member. It contains a step wedge 
and 4 different images, I believe was made up by Clayton Jones. I 
haven't been able to get this image to print with good results. 
Thanks for the help.
