Digital BW, The Print

Try pulling the slider on the layer back to about 50%.  The slider 
seems to be needed to adjust for different papers.  On the 260, at 
least with matte papers, it seems to work OK.  I've never tried in on 
a 1400.

For the best color profiles, of course, get a good profiling system 
with a spectro that has a strip reader.
