Digital BW, The Print

I use MIS eboni for BO only on my 2200.  I find that with EEM the dmax
is not all that great but with HPR or some of the Hawk Mtn papers
recommended by Clayton Jones (and on some stash of Eclispe Satine I
still have) I get very nice, rich blacks.  I use EEM for proofing as
the tonal range and such is usually pretty similar in general and then
print on one of the other papers for the final print.  The UC mk is
simply too chocolately warm used for BO printing, IMHO.
