Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

Attached are some data for one of my old Oriental Seagull (selenium  
toned) silver prints.  I just collected spot measurements from  
different areas of the print, but I don't have a step wedge print.   
Might be OK as a sample for hue.  Measurements were made with an x- 
rite pulse spectrophotometer (UV filtered) and are tabulated in the  
attached ascii file as Lab and density (CMYV) readings.  I don't have  
the 3D inks yet for my 2400 but I do want to try them with your  
workflow.

Carl
