Digital BW, The Print

Don,

Thanks for the tips.  I am using the same Epson paper for proofing, 
although I don't believe that the images are set at "Dot Gain 20%".  
I'll double check that.  I had also adjusted the sliders to be 
neutral according to the MIS supplied instructions.  I'll try it 
without any adjustments at all, and see if that looks more neutral.

The exchange sounds pretty interesting, especially since I'm getting 
going now.  Let me know what I need to do, or what else is involved.
