Digital BW, The Print

Your report of the increased d-max and lessening of bronzing have me 
reconsidering whether to initialize the 4800 with matte black initially.  OTOH, 
there's still not a RC paper that I really like, especially not for B&W...  But I'd 
love to see these results on glossy for myself when my 4800 arrives 
(Monday).
