Digital BW, The Print

Well I had the day off and wasn't it nice to get my sample pack.  I made time to 
print.

I picked a full tone image.  2200 printer using BO method with Ebony.   I print 
mostly with Epson EEM and make finals if needed on PR.   I always need to 
add a curve of extra black or  maybe go minus 5-8 on brightness and plus 5-8 
on contrast.  That usually gives me a PR print I like.

I downloaded the HM profiles for the Condor and Merlin, and I have a 
question about that later on.

I only tried 3 of the HM papers, Condor BW (bright white) Merlin smooth and 
Merlin photo.    So far I like the Condor  BW best.  I only had 2 sheets of each 
so I couldn't really get the print exactly the way I want.  Merlin smooth was 
very pale compared to Merlin photo.  I just need to get more paper  to try.  

 Per HM suggestion I printed as watercolor paper in the paper choice 
pulldown and not as EEM

I wish HM made the papers I think I like in 8.5x11.  Most seem to start at 
13x19.

Now about profiles.  The HM site says to put the profiles  (Mac OSX 10.2.8)  in 
users/library/colorsync/profiles.  I did that.  When you go to pick the paper to 
print on there weren't any new choices, just the same papers that appear with 
a 2200 and matt black ink.   Should I see the HM papers there?   Did I need to 
restart or something?

One other thing.  On one of my 2 sheets of Condor I  didn't set it to black ink.  It 
was left on color by mistake.   I got a cool grey print, really kina nice.  Very 
"Kodak" in tone and no changes in print color under every light source I can 
find in the house. 

So I need more of this stuff to try and I need to figure out if I have the profiles 
loaded and working right.
