Digital BW, The Print

What gamma are you using for the apple monitor? I use 1.8, and the 
screen matches really well, even without any fancy calibration (just 
the OSX 10.4 calibrator)

For converting to B/W, I found the power retouche studio b/w to be 
better than using the channel mixer, and better fred miranda's silver 
oxide plug-in.

Not all RC papers are equal in terms of longeveity. The epson papers 
are rated mch higher by wilhelm. Something like 100 years vs 30 years 
for the ilford. That is why I avoind the ilford papers, even though 
they do look great.....

I am sure others will heplful here...those were good questions.>DM
