Digital BW, The Print

Thank you Hap!

I had just sent an email to Martin last night in which I thought that 
what you explained below was what we could do, but it is nice to know

One last question, have you tried Pauls curves with these inks? If so 
how did the results look?

Thanks again,

Terry
