Hello Brian,

I have always gotten the best results with this combination, with BO
and K3/ABW as well as R2.  The GG2.2/2.2 approach seems to have more
compressed shadow zones, which is always a challenge to control at
best.  DG20/1.8 is more open (the prints seem to "breathe" more) and
easier to work with.


>BTW, I have not used QTR or any other RIP for any of this.  

Isn't it nice.  

Sounds like it's all coming together for you.  Pretty soon you'll be
able to enjoy taking pictures and making prints :) 


Regards,
Clayton
