Depends on your printer and substrate... If you've got 1440 dpi, maybe
even 720, and stay off the Pictorico... you can. CERTAINLY for gum. And
did you try the neg or just look at it? Someone on this very list said
their digital neg printed better than it looked...
Mostly though, you need a curve. If I get offline and finish this issue
I'm doing an article about CURVING that says you should be able at least
for gum, cyano and VDB by adding a curve to the negative...in black.
