Digital BW, The Print

HI Thanks for everyones responses!

-winddancing...yes, i'm pretty sure i have the second ed. 

-dave08g,  i know on the site Dan said something new was coming soon, but    
  honestly i haven't looked for about a month or so.  Midterms here, brain a bit
  scrambled!

-David....thank you for the curve info.  I tried the one on Dan's site he had a curve for
  the 2200 for silver based stuff, i wasn't sure if photogravure counted (i see you said
  silver/ gelatin, so i guess it works for both).  I will definitely try out your curve with
  the next student who comes by and tell them to let it cure overnight.  I'm the photo 
  tech where i work and we share our facilities with printmaking for this class.  its not
  a process i'm familiar with much, but i'm learning in drips and drabs.  


thank you thank you, and i'll check out the site at work tomorrow!
