Re: [Digital BW] trouble with dark prints on a 3800

Dan ­ in my humble opinion, 115 is a bit high as a luminance value at which
to calibrate a monitor, especially if you¹re counting on it to indicate what
a print will look like.  I use 85 cd/m2, and find that it lets me get a much
more accurate sense of what an image will look like when printed.  What are
you using to drive the printer?  A RIP?  The Epson driver?  Are your
profiles accurate except for overall density?
