Digital BW, The Print

This combo is giving me beautiful, highly accurate results, with very deep, rich blacks, but before switching fully from Concorde Rag I'd like to know if I can expect thee results to last. Does anyone out there have long enough experience with this combination to comment on its longevity?

As I'm sat here waiting for my FS Neutral inks, which workflow are you
using?

thanks

I'm using John Woolf's absurdly simple workflow, with a slightly modified S-curve to match the Concorde Rag image with my monitor image, on the Epson 1280. The match is nearly exact on Concorde rag, and virtually identical on Photo Rag -- but you'll almost certainly have to experiment because of monitor differences. One slight and probably pointless departure from Woolf: Instead of applying the curve to an adjustment layer, I duplicate the image and convert to 16-bit before applying the curve. The Woolf workflow and curve can be downloaded from about the middle of this page from the MI site: http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/workflow.html
