Digital BW, The Print

Eboni will give less warmth. Why use BO? Although I find QTR images smoother
they certainly look less sharp to me and seem to have less pop than BO
prints. BO does not work for all prints and that is why I sometimes use QTR.
However when BO does work it works well, IMO. Just more snap and "wow!"
factor oftentimes.
