Digital BW, The Print

Allen...Yes, I use this combination and the tonal transitions with 
the new ICC profiles are very nice.  My experience has been that 
posterization is a problem if I have to heavily manipulate an 
image.  But if I have a well-exposed and scanned image (4000 dpi) 
posterization has not been a problem, even with skin tones.  The 
fact that I am shooting med. format also helps as the image is 
enlarged...Val
