Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul,

That 2010 PDF is still there, but I'm not sure I'd bother with it.  I'd go
with the standard ratios noted at
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-6.pdf and
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Carbon-6.pdf

If you stay with the standard ratios the standard profiles will work.
