Digital BW, The Print

Hello Richard,

What sort of pre-print "treatment" do you give it?

It's biggest drawback, for me, is the texture.  On many images it
isn't noticeable, but it hurts certain ones.  It seems to somehow fill
in the texture in the dark areas so it doesn't show much, as if it
swells a bit, but it's more obvious in lighter zones.  That's why its
effect varies among different images.  But it sure sings with K3 aside
from that.  Deep rich blacks, good luminance, good shadow separation,
good contrast, good fine detail resolution.

Please give us a report when you try it.

Regards,
Clayton
