Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for all your help!  I finally got a good print using the 
inkset as-is, as per your directions.  I did a bit more reading and 
finally figured it all out.  I just wanted to let you know that I 
appreciate your responses.  This can be confusing for a newbie, and 
your guidance was invaluable.  Now if I'm successful removing those 
damn pizza wheels then I'll be in business....
