Digital BW, The Print

Hi John

The gamma you set can be from 1.8-2.4.  However, the purpose of the 
gamma is to match the monitor's image display with the printed 
image.  Currently, I am using a grayscale gamma of 2.0 but I am 
printing through a lab service that uses Studioprint.  You might want 
to leave a higher gamma because gloss papers seem to have a higher 
DMAX than matte papers.

Regards
Ross
