Digital BW, The Print

Larry - If you contact me off-list, I will send you a couple of images that
you can try.  For judging monitors' calibrations, I find it useful to look
at a square made up of 100 smaller squares of gray going from 1% black to
100% in 1 percent increments.  Those will let you see what's happening to
the mid-tones (in terms of color drift, etc.,) and also whether the high and
low ends of the scale are compressed.

For testing printing profiles, I like to see how a particular image prints
once I have done a good monitor calibration and have chosen the appropriate
print profile for the printer, inks, driver, lighting conditions for
viewing, etc.
