Digital BW, The Print

Hi John, I am using Windows XP pro-sp2, and you name it and most likely I
have tried it.  I have printed a test file and all the boxes from 95 to 100
percent are always black, more so on matte papers.  I am certainly not an
expert but I do know enough to confuse myself... :)  I am using the papers
profiles correctly too.  I just don't know what else to try, hence the
profiler...maybe I should get one made first though, and those things seem
expensive.  

Steve, are you talking about the color space when you say "Possibly the
wrong workspace..."  I think I have PSCS2 set to adobe rgb...

Thanks guys;

Jim
