Digital BW, The Print

I've used your exact set-up with Paul's curves, and now I'm using the
original "Sepia VM" set, also with Paul's curves, and I'm having great
results IMHO..Are you following the "Roark" workflow to the letter?..sounds
like (possibly) you've skipped a step??....Exactly what is your workflow?

Subject: [Digital BW] Disappointing 1160 MIS VM Results


> I'm new using BW and can't seem the get a BW print that I like.  I'm

> When I print, I turn off the first curve and only use the correction
