Digital BW, The Print

well, just like I thought, the contrast is low on matte paper with the 
photo-Black cart. I tried it cuz there is a profile for enhanced matte 
with the photo cart. Simple contrast adjustments dont help it either. 
The shadows Block up when you increase the contrast. Interestingly, the 
specific profile for EEM and PK was not as good as simply using the 
sliders. The sliders were much more neutral. Also, when using EEM with 
the PK cart, the advanced B/W mode is disabled......I have the day 
off....fun, DM
