Digital BW, The Print

Hello Kevin,

>i kind of miss my 1280 w/ BO work flow. i got the 2400 and have yet 
>to duplicate the luminance i got w/ the 1280.

Yes, it does seem like a step down in that regard.  However, count
your blessings, it's much better than many other full ink systems. 
Under a loupe I can see very fine dots in the highlights with bare
paper showing between.  It of course doesn't go as far into the
midtones as BO, but it's still much better than systems that fully
cover the paper.  It still retains the clarity that is reminiscent of
a BO print.

Are you using K3 or something else?  If K3, have you tried using VFA?
 It has become my favorite K3 paper, with great dmax and luminance. 
I'm printing my portfolios with it and they have gotten very high
praise.  It's great stuff.

Regards,
Clayton
