Digital BW, The Print

I just set up a C84 with the EZ inks, and the numbers Paul suggests are 
MINUS numbers on both brightness and contrast sliders.  Personally, I 
thought my prints on EAM looked better at -10 contrast, but that's 
subjective.

I also found that I got visible banding in the very dark sections of images 
(95-100% black areas) when using these settings with EAM, which disappeared 
when I changed settings to Matte Heavyweight, High Speed and -0- brightness 
and contrast.  Anybody else notice this banding on their setups when using 
Paul's recommended settings?

Cheers,
Kip
