Digital BW, The Print

Paul,
I feel like I'm somehow defecting when I use QTR after all the work 
you have put into the curves for the MIS inks I use. I have tried 
QTR and do find the very low values to be better separated than with 
the curves. I know nothing about revising curves, and though their 
capability may be able to do the same, so I can't at this time 
adjust the curves to perform as QTR does. As far as dmax goes, I use 
primarily only two papers; both by Epson, HWmatte and EEMate; so I 
don't have a way of comparing dmax to other papers. I have found 
that checking "black" ink in proofing that I can see the lower 
values and their closeness of tone to mark the black point more 
accurately. Then I uncheck "black ink" and see it as it will print 
on the paper proofed. 

Still your friend in Photography,

Johnny Eades
