Digital BW, The Print

What I had actually meant to say in my original post was that the glossy profile for 
Kirkland glossy that I got from Paul's site resulted in a print (on Kirkland glossy) much 
closer to my monitor than the self made profile for matte. Marco,  I noticed exactly the 
below. The dark greys all "black out". Can you tell me how you adjusted the curve? Did you 
just bump the raw numbers in the ICC 21 point input curve?

Regards, Matthew
