You might also try setting the printer for one click into the 'cool tones' setting. B.

Found one at the local Fry's for $129. Figured what the heck. The 4 cartridges in the box probably cost close to that anyway, and an enlarger costs more than that and I would still have to set up the wet darkroom :-) I went by Ted and B.D. try and true KISS principles and just let the printer does its thing. Wow, the B&W does look very nice! Huzzahh! Next I will try some color prints and I will refrain from doing Color Profiling blah blah blah and see how that looks. Good thing I bought an extra Gray cartridge as it appears to sucks ink like there is no tomorrow.... // richard (This email is for mailing lists.
