Digital BW, The Print

It was quite easy..

All I needed to do using Clayton's Method was limit the grey output via 
curves to 97% for 100% input..

No more bronzing and I keep the deep blacks... Given the small amount of 
ruboff, I'd recommend spraying with a fixative after curing..

Print looks GREAT though, I REALLY like the look of this paper with BO 
(Clayton, you've got me eating my earlier words of disdain for the BO 
workflow)..  It does look VERY much like a ferrotyped B&W Fiber print.. 
(let's hope I can find a fixative that doesn't alter that - anyone have 
a suggestion of one?)

However, the sepia toned inks are another issue entirely... Will try and 
tweak curves that lower it enough to allow a more Roark-like workflow 
that uses more of the tonal/color capabilities of this and the VM  set..

Of course, this may all be mooted for me once I start using the UT v2 
inkset, but that's another issue.. Some may still find themselves using 
the VM sets, and this hopefully gives them a viable glossy option..

I'll email the curve and instructions to Martin Wesley for posting in 
the files section..  I'll also send a copy to Oriental and MIS, in case 
they want to post it..
