Digital BW, The Print

Peter,

I have curves for the UT-FS, EEM and Photo Rag.  The 1160 with UT-FS can
actually be printed with no curve or just a grayscale curve, so adjustment
to any paper would be rather easy.

Permajet Delta or Omega, or Innova are cotton based papers with a dmax
usually between EEM and Photo Rag, and I think they flake less and have a
bit tougher surface.  On the other hand, if you use air to blow off the
Photo Rag it should be fine, especially if you don't need to mail the print.

Use Eboni black for matte papers.

Let me know off list if you want my curves for the 1160 and UT-FS.  (They're
not posted on my web page.)
