Digital BW, The Print

Bernard-

Thanks for the encouragement... I made my first FS prints yesterday 
and I'm very happy with them... Still some tweaking to do, some 
papers to try, but the great news was that once I loaded the carts, 
everthing went fine... No mulitple cleaning cycles etc... 

Do you use Cone or Epson drivers? What papers do you like best.

I find the FS considerably more neutral than piezo (can be good or 
bad)... So far the best prints for me are clearly on Epson Archival 
Matte (not my favorite paper but the blacks are perfect!!!

Do you use the John Wolf curves? Any advice on how to use them... 
That's something new to me.

This has me very encouraged... Thanks again.
