Digital BW, The Print

Fraser is still correct, pre sharpening in ACR uses a different algorithm than PS or Nik and is a "global" application of the sharpening to the image - Fraser suggests that all digital images  regardless of source will need at least a 50% "dose" in ACR as a first step -  better digital capture may alter this in the future - but for now this is still a good general starting point.  I use a 
very similar print set up - images printed with the K7 inks and the Cone Editions curves do benefit from careful sharpening- as part of the workflow
