Digital BW, The Print

I use the 2200 epson printer and last night I used the
matte paper because it was a test to see if it would
work so that I wouldn't waste good paper the paper
that I want to use is the epson velvet fine art, for
now 
And I printed at 1440 dpi set in my printer settings

Thanks for the thoughts about curves I didn't know
what they did I just thought that they where to give a
tone to the print and I didn't want a tone so choose
none, which seem to be the right one for no tone 
Thanks much Daniel looking forward to another reply
