Digital BW, The Print

Walt,

Please note that the curves I had selected were both cool but I am
still getting a warm print.  The problem is that no matter how I
combine the UT curves -- what UT curve I select and where I put the
slider, I still get a warm tone.

I must add though, that when I selected none for both curves, I ended
up with a neutral image but I got those thin banding patterns.

Best regards,

Edwin
