Digital BW, The Print

Joe - My information may be out of date, but I think that we agree on the
basics here.  I used the Kodak scales forever, since I specialize in
photographing artwork.  I actually have an ancient Macbeth color checker
(yes - the one with 24 patches) that is a precursor of today's Gretag
models; it's at least 20 years old and is remarkable close in color/density
to a new one I also have in my studio.

It makes it difficult to scan transparencies with the Kodak scales in them,
since it's hard to decide where to neutralize when the gray patches have so
much color variation...

Best,
