I'm having a problem with printing. I shoot 8x10 B+W and make a contact print with aristo cold head on Omega D-2 enlarger. Even though I have very slight shadow detail on Negative, I can't get it on a print (grade 2). Negative contra st and density look just fine, but when I expose a paper to get the shadow detai ls, I don't get pure black in the picture,on the other hand, when exposed to get real black, there is no details, just black. Changing a contrast filter didn't help. Reducing contrast makes it much harder to get black, while increacing con trast makes it the high light too bright.(too contrasty overall the picture) Why ??? Could anyone give me some advice in beginner's term? Thanks anausagi
