Yes....

use Epson premium heavy matte.

Do the conversion in channel layers and since you are
printing with only black.

Oh, using a Canon 5D helps...

I recently got a 5D w/grid screen and a 24-70mm f2.8L lens. One huge
leap from the KIA 20D which will now be permanently attached to a
70-200 f2.8L IS lens. No more cameras, no more lenses, no more sensor
dust. Less discussion and much more imulsion... ;-)

Do you have any posted shots taken at 24mm on the 5D?
I'm interested in a real-world take on vignetting...as it looks fairly
pronounced here:

I am feeling rather tempted to buy the 5D, as it can now be had for a mere
$2669.95 at B&H ($300 rebate, and $300 less when added to shopping cart).
That's less than I paid for my old D30 when it first came out...
Shots like that half-dome snap would benefit from an extra 6.8 MPs.
Thanks for any info/thoughts/samples(?)
