Walt & Richard,

I started out printing BO on my Epson 2200 (using EEM and H Photo Rag, 
following the advice of Clayton Jones, who Richard linked to) and quickly 
came to the conclusion that SOME photos looked amazing as BO prints but 
most did not.  I still occasionally print BO...mostly for very grainy night 
photos from TMax3200...but most of my B&W printing is with QuadToneRip, 
which has much better tonality to my eye.

Nevertheless, I'll give the baby photo a try both ways and see what happens.

Best,
Aaron
