Digital BW, The Print

Ben,

Since the Eboni and sepia were replaced, and neither are used by the glossy
neutral curves, the system should still be able to print with the curve and
look exactly like it did before.

My UT2 Readme file is at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/UT2-Readme.htm.

For Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl & Glossy, I recommend these settings: Media
type: "Photo Quality Ink Jet paper;" Sliders: For neutral: C +5, M -5; for
warm: C -15, M +10, Y +25, Contrast -5 might help open up shadows.

Be sure you're using "Color Controls" checked; Mode - Vivid.

PKN should not affect the image in the midtone at all.
