Digital BW, The Print

I will get to that but not until I have profiled a few "photo" papers.
Personally, I don't expect much improvement on matte paper.  A (reported)
dMax increase from 1.6 to 1.7 is just rounding error in my book and the 2100
already had 2880dpi.   Epson is really close to nailing the traditional
print look - expect more on the paper front.

Joseph Holmes said he was getting 2.45 dMax on Premium Luster.  I haven't
tried Luster yet (it doesn't come up as a paper choice - it's greyed out)
but I don't know how to tweak the 4800 above its standard settings.  Perhaps
someone with a 4000 can point me in the right direction.  The only variable
I can see that might be the one to change is "colour density".
