Digital BW, The Print

Gadzooks!

  Just got this thing today...I've been wet-printing around 35 years 
or so, and on the sample sheets of EEM I managed to print a color 
photo with proper balance _the first time_ and a warm-toned b&w print 
that was an absolute bear to print on Ilford warmtone and then 
selenium toned. Amazing; it was file-print with preview etc, just fine 
the first try.
  Anyway..observations..EEM with MK seems to have somewhat weak blacks 
with the Epson profile; a bit of adjustment while viewing proof colors 
fixes it...but....
  The couple of b&w prints I made (with PS CM) were pretty much as I 
wanted, regardless of the weak blacks. No crossovers, casts, shifts 
etc..they looked really good.
  I'm leaning towards picking a couple of papers, then doing custom 
profiles if needed. Just my two cents worth. Anyone want some darkroom 
gear?
