Digital BW, The Print

Clayton and Tyler, Thank you very much for your comments.

Clayton, I have the 2400 and have gotten some of the papers you 
evaluated... epson velvet, Hm photo rag,kayenta, merlin smooth, and 
peregrine velvet. It has been great fun to use the papers and 
settings you suggest and see the wonderful results. I so appreciate 
your willingness to share what you know. It has given me some 
direction and made it much easier to explore the BW world on the 
2400.  I, too, fell in love with the k3 inks on the Epson Velvet. It 
really is a breathtaking combination.  Then I started worrying about 
the texture and wondering if it would be distracting. I hated the 
idea of giving that paper up. I knew nothing about printing on a 
textured paper and your and Tyler's comments helped a lot.

p.s. I have to tell you, also, I love the Peregrine Velvet for my 
sand dune pictures with the H & v settings you suggested. A real 
knockout!
