Digital BW, The Print

You don't have to have a "digital look."  I don't have your ink or scanner so can't comment on the other stuff.  I do use a 1160 and have no problem with that.  

Good luck, 
Steadman

  Subject: [Digital BW] blotchy blacks on MIS quadtone


  hi. i'm pretty new to digital phtotgraphy and printing. i've recently 
  set up a digital darkroom (nikon sc 4000, epson 1160, MIS FS quadtone 
  inks). I'm printing portraits from tibet and the true black just does 
  not blend in. the prints have a great tonal spectrum in the 
  highlights and midtones, but when it comes to the shadows, the black 
  blotches up and pixelates - looking very digital. am i doing 
  something wrong? or is this just what i should expect with digital 
  prints?
  thanks so much,
  dafna.
