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

How about using a BPC when one is not needed?  I didn’t see where you said
what you are using to drive that print home; QTR, EPSON  ABW, other? 

Setting are available in every situation which can help or hinder a print.
Please elaborate on your workflow.
