Digital BW, The Print

BO can work out fine if you use QTR.

A while ago I made some 1400 BO prints with the OEM ink using the QTR 
driver. The result is surprisingly good if you manage to get your curve 
right. Much better than Homer Shannon's sample (very little 
micro-banding only to be seen with a strong magnifying glass, much 
better tone separation), but of course not as good as a multi-ink B&W setup.

The top image is the print with the color ink and the bottom image is with UT-14 on Red River Polar Matte with a known good ICC printed some time ago. (Yes, I should have cleaned my scanner!) Zoom in and you can see how blocked up the ceiling of the cave is and how washed out the sky in the canal scene is. The coloration of the two images is pretty accurate.
