Paul I will print out the 21-step wedge later and scan it and send it to
you.

THanks, Bernie

Bernie,

I'm not sure where the lot # is.  Since you have a CFS, I'm not sure the
problem would apply to you anyway.

Yesterday you described the problem as follows: "...in the darker grey zones
- like shaded zones of skin - I get a relatively coarse black grain which
looks a bit like "snake skin" ..."

I have a 1290 on loan here, so I printed a 21-step test file on Ilford
Galerie Smooth Pearl with the 1290 and UT2 inkset.  I used the 1280 UT2
neutral curve that is designed to print on that paper even though Eboni is
installed in the printer.

The 1290 print looks very much like the 1280 print.  With a magnifying hood,
I can see the dots.  They look about the same as the 1280 dots.  I doubt
these are what you're referring to, however.
