Digital BW, The Print

Clayton, I certainly defer to you. I remember discussing the original
concept while you were writing the articles. Based on your thoughts, I
hit upon the concept of using GG2.2 as a working space and DG10% as a
printer space to get perfect BO WYSIWYG in a 1280 with Gen4 K and
later Eboni. That's worked for me for years and I apparently I never
completely digested your Article #4. 

When my last 1280 got too long in the tooth, I bought a 2400. But I
still have a 890 and just made 20 Eboni BO prints on Condor BW for a
show with it. All with the working space of GG2.2 and printer space of
DG10% that has always worked for me. I was 19 of 20 for the first
print being the one I will use in the show. I guess it's just knowing
how it works after using it for so many years.
