Digital BW, The Print

Well, it looks like it anyway, with an 1280, with the "c" and "nc" 
curves. Not noticable much with the warmer curves. Strangely, I 
compared it to step wedges done with my old 1160, and this wasn't a 
problem on this paper, on any of the four curves with this printer.

Any ideas?

I think you are on to something here Jim.
Would be interested in anything more you find out.

Actually, Francine, I am confused about it right now. I have an image 
that defies the convention and plasters down huge areas of 100 %k, and 
I think the best thing to do is just let it dry a couple of days and 
avoid biasing myself by not looking at it again until then. I find 
that step wedges done with an 1160 have the problem but much less 
than 1280 step wedges... you have to look at it under an Ott-lite at 
just the right angle. These step wedges, for both the 1160 and the 
1280, are DRY. When I view it under tungsten light I don't see it. My 
Ott-lite just shows up stuff more. And you have to hold it at a 
certain angle to see this, so that too is an issue.
