Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul,

I wanted to get back to expiermenting with your suggestions and the new
curve sooner but may day job got in the way :-)

The L50 curve got me a lot closer. It seems that with this curve the darker
tones plateau sooner -- it's a shorter curve. In any case, I used the soft
proofing technique, along with the K156 step tablet, and got things much
closer. The print is now a tiny bit darker in highlights but overall it is
close enough for now. 

Unchecking the "black only" checkbox certainly changed things quite a bit,
too. I'm looking forward to not having to refill the black cartridge as
often . . . 

Many thanks for your hard work in making all these materials and your
expertise available to the group!

--Phil
