Re: [Digital BW] Best method for printing b&w.

Sam, you heard me correctly.  The b&w prints with the MIS PIGS with the CDT profile, do not look anywhere near as good as b&w prints with MIS dyes, and the epson canned profile, set at Adobe RGB.
The prints were made on Legion Photo Matte, and Somerset Enhanced Velvet.
With the PIGs, something funny was always happening in the lower values, un smooth transitions, slightly posterized effects.  None of this happens with the MIS dyes.  I'm using an epson 1280 with NMC CIS.
