RE: km73 plate with finer stochastic screen
Nice print, lovely couple! :) In my monitor, the polymer print lacks the specular highlights -> A scanning artifact? Because of paper base? ... or ... Is this just normal for photopolymer? I wish printing presses were not that much expensive. I found a dealer that stocks KM73 plates in Istanbul, now I have to find a school w/ a printing press... Considering the cheap price for imagesetter negatives here, I will probably try photopolymer process later (for making editions).

This is using the 2nd iteration of the compensation curve I've been developing for my workflow with the 7800. Not without room for improvement, but getting close! No adjustments were made to the 16bit RGB scan of the intaglio print, other than converting it to jpg. Auto-adjust was turned off in the scanner settings. Please let me know what you think, and if you have any questions not already addressed in my on-line procedure.
