Digital BW, The Print

From my box, I printed some color prints using the good old EEM
profile. Prints looked just dandy (brighter paper noted). I tried the
supplied Kayenta profiles when print color on my 2200, and the prints
looked super saturated and generally like crap.

I printed a few QTR prints using the EEM profile and the Entrada
profile. In both cases, prints looks a little "crispy" for lack of a better
word compared to the same prints on EEM.

The one BO print I made, was quite "cool." The UC black was
remarkable black to my eye. But the density of the blacks (if that's
the right lingo) was pretty extreme. Oddly, my father saw the print
hanging/drying on the magnet board and kind of like it :-) Go figure.
It's an outdoor poolside shot and had ssort of a "noire in LA" look
to it.

Actually here's the image in color:

While it's an interesting "look" in BO (UC 2200), it would be nice
to have a more "traditional" looking print.
