There are two issues here , one of the grey failure , the other of screen
matching the print in the viewing box.
Even if you get a near perfect grey in the viewing box that's not going to
guarantee a screen to print match.
That gets me wondering. If we were to print a greyscale print on RC B&W
media (while there is still stock around) on a Lambda is there any way to
make a profile for B&W and have a monitor return that would reflect the B&W
profile onscreen?
