Digital BW, The Print

"For the landscape(s), which are fewer in quantity (there are
considerable farm animal/equipment images), I would prefer a slightly
cooler tone, which I thought I might be able to achieve with Eboni
Black. So my next step is to contact MIS." <----Nancy, just remember that you will not be 
able to use Eboni on the Ilford Pearl, only with matte papers.

Good luck...I love BO!
