Digital BW, The Print

Hello Clayton,
altough I posted in another message, I still did not get any answer
which makes sense.
How do you do BO printing withj the Epson R2400?
In your articles, you mentioned we need a RIP. But which one?
Is there any other trick I can use?
I think BO printing is much closer to a traditional wet print. With
silver halides
you dont get shades of gray. The silver grains are either black or
they have been
washed away by the hypo. You get the grays through the density of the
silver grain vs the white paper. Just as in BO.

Regards
  Daniela
