Digital BW, The Print

Thank you Paul for the suggestion.

A couple more questions...

Why FSN as opposed to plain old FS? Is it that you like the more 
neutral tone yourself?

What about black? Would that be the Ebony black? Is that what's in the 
UT-FS ink sets?
Or are you suggesting no black at all? Or just no black for glossy 
prints w/GLOP?

Thanks again,
-bruce
