Digital BW, The Print

Hi John,

A two day window is short no matter what the issue, so I'd have a plan B
anyway.  Modifying the 2200 profiles for the 7600 is probably not a
difficult task but would require a densitometer for the final linearization.
If your two day window can wait a little while I'm hoping to get some
profiles done on the 7600.  Right now there seems to be a hangup in my getting
the inks switched from photo to matte.
