Digital BW, The Print

Thanks all who replied to this. 

Recent results suggest this seems to be a red herring. A resolution 
test did not show any significant differences. Moreover, while 
printing a set of identical prints (on identical paper) for a print 
exchange recently I noticed that in some prints I seemed to miss one 
or more of the darker inks, and consequently some detail. I suspect 
that some trapped air is/was the problem.

Sorry for bothering you...
