Digital BW, The Print

Hi Dennis-

I don't think it's critical, but useful.  Especially if you are trying 
to match your original silver and carbons.

I have done some restorations for some local folks of stuff out of the 
1880-1920's.  What I do with my iOne Pro is read the highlight and 
shadow colors .  Then I can make prints for them that are close to the 
original rather than "Epson Sepia" or a yellowy brown.  It also gives me 
two colors for a duotone which works-sometimes. 


      ==================================

I know monitor calibration is a must with color, is it just as crucial 
with Black and White. I have looked at the Spyder monitor stuff, but, I 
just don't know, opinions please.
I'll be working from scanned 4x5 negs that I have silver and carbon 
prints to compare plus I'll use images from a digital camera.
Am I missing something that I need and if so what.
