Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Paul for a good point...also if you choose to set your Black % much above the visual looking "max black" don't you "hurt" your shadow detail when you linearize the steps? ... or another way of describing is you lineraize OK with the densitometer reading but visually the blacks at 95%, 90%, etc visually look the same as the 100% black which was chosen from say a 70 or 80% reading on the ink sepration page. (I'm thinking of luster/satin type papers but the concept applies to matte, also)
