Digital BW, The Print

Since I mainly print BO -though I do use QTR when more appropriate for the image - I 
decided to go ahead and slightly reduce the Color Density setting, and did find that in 
some of the prints I had previously made that showed a bit of blockiness in the deep 
blacks, this alleviated that.

Thanks for the suggestion.
