Digital BW, The Print

I am now printing seriously with the R2400, K3 inks and EPSG paper. I 
have also just replaced my 6 year old Compaq 17" CRT with two new side-
by-side Samsung 930B 19" LCD flat panels. Obviously WYSIWYG with the 
ABW driver has been difficult, BUT thanks to Clayton and his wonderful 
articles on playing with custom dot gains, I have been able to get my 
monitors and my prints matched. I and thrilled and thankful. Couldn't 
have done it without Clayton's writings.

By the way, just like in my darkroom, I found it very necessary to do 
my own testing and not rely on other people's settings. For instance, 
my new LCDs are sooooo bright and sooooo contrasty, that I had to 
calibrate with my Monaco XR with brightness and contrast settings of 
27%/65%. Even then, I had to apply a custom 29% dot gain to get the 
image on my monitor to match a ABW print with the "dark" setting. So 
each person's set up is going to be very different I believe.

Ongoing experience.......
