Re: [Digital BW] Condor BW and other Hawk Mountain Papers

2004-07-27 by borgida

Hi Paul

Do you have curves or driver slider settings for the Condor BW?  I am 
interested in creating neutral prints with the Condow BW and 
comparing to my neutral prints with William Turner paper.  Also, I 
would like to create a neutral step wedge with Condor BW and compare 
with William Turner for density values.

Thanks
Ross
