Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the response. 

I'm using a mac, doing black only printing, and I've tried some variations with glossy 
settings and then trying to move the tones around with both dot gain profiles (a la 
Clayton) and gamma settings. However, it's just not getting close enough, mainly with lost 
detail in the shadows.

I have a feeling that it's just not possible to do 2880 with matte on this printer. Maybe in 
the future when I get a bigger model (4000?) it might be able to do 2880 with matte. I'd 
like to find out if that's a possibility.
