Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Bob, I was hoping you would respond. Can you desribe what you 
see in the Zuber white scale when printed with the highlight point 
shift engaged? Did you see a shift all the way down the scale or 
just at the top end (254-255). Have you printed a print with it and 
noticed that it threw your tones off? It would be great if it simply 
protected the 255 bare paper from occurring, but not so hot if it 
shifts all the tones south. Wadja see? :)
