Digital BW, The Print

Johnny:

I'm having the same experience, more or less, although I don't print 
grayscale wedges very often.  In "actual" photographic images, the 
problem is apparent as posterization in the midtones; that is, say, 
skin tones or clouds that should be distinct, with considerable 
detail, print as a single tone without that detail.  (I'm using the 
selenium ink on a 1280 with PhotoRag.)  I've given up on the ICC 
system as a result, and gone back to the plugin.
