Anyone here have a good background in b&w printing? Have you found a digital technique that can equal split printing? I haven't yet, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. Split printing involves altering the times for separate high contrast and low contrast filter settings. That way I can burn in low contrast textures for n(1) time while doing high contrast for n(2) time for other purposes. This allows me to emphasize the details of texture while not over-exposing the print. My personal favorite technique.
