Digital BW, The Print

Shilesh;

That test patch was done a couple months back on Clayton's 2400 with 
Epson PK. And yes, they struck me as being astronomical too. I don't 
have any more on hand or I'd try it again just to see if I can repeat 
the results. That result made me wonder if my nice new spectro was 
out-of-whack, but everything else it comes up with seems reasonable, 
so...
