Digital BW, The Print

Hello all,

I'm glad my initial post generated such an interesting thread... I think that's as far as my contributions to the group will be for a while.

I am especially grateful to Paul's posting of his picture: The snow looks gritty, almost dirty, in it... but more interestingly to me, the picture seems framed by a thin white stroke and a black border. Now, if using a matt then one could get a black one, of some shade of black or another. 

But what about printing that same photograph with the idea of no matting or framing? Have you ever tried printing a thick black, edge-to-edge, border? That's a lot of ink, I know, but I am curious. My new printer should arrive tomorrow evening, and I will be testing these ideas and any other the group might suggest ASAP! Can't wait!!!

Ciao,
Gianguido
