I print both ways with different profiles and on the fact that black only
will read more like an etching, you are 100 percent wrong. Maybe that is
your experience but after 25 plus years in the wet the BO prints that I make
look wonderful with or without comparing them to anything else, they
certainly don't look etched.
Image made from a Hassy, Scala film rated at 100, scanned on SS120 and
printed BO - these images rock.

Everyone that I have sold one to has mistaken it for a photograph, should I
give their money back and sell it as an etching??
