Digital BW, The Print

You can get those results with your 1160...keep trying. I just hung a 
show here in Santa Fe, and was thrilled with the results on the wall, 
printing with my 1160. Don't worry about darkening your levels 
adjustment, and keep fiddling with your driver automatic adjustment 
sliders to tweak the output, along with creating a transfer curve. 
Meanwhile, give the Moab fine art entrada a try, (brush it first with 
a draftsman's brush before running it through the printer).
Best, mark
