Digital BW, The Print

Following an earlier question of mine, one of the members of this list,
Adrian Joyner, made me some prints using VM and Paul Roark's curves on an
ESC 1160. He also sent some comparison prints made with Piezography ink
using the new Piezo driver.

I liked the ability to control the tone (warm/neutral/cool) of the
monochrome image, but, as
Adrian pointed out, the VM prints showed much greater separation of tones in
the deep shadows, lost the subtle tonal detail there and produced a
posterised
effect. His Piezo print on the other hand was in fact very close to the way
I originally visualised the
scene and similar to my own prints in tonal gradation.

I am wondering therefore whether anyone else has seen this as a problem and
achieved a satisfactory solution.

Thanks,

Tim
