Digital BW, The Print

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the tip...I'll look into your suggestion. The one thing I don't like about setting a Custom Dot Gain as your gray working space is that it's paper specific. In other words, if an image is worked up in PS with the working space set for one paper (PR, for example) and, then, you decide to print on a different paper (EEM, maybe) you've got a problem...the current "soft proof", if you will, could be (probably will be) incorrect.

Thanks, again, for the tip.
