Digital BW, The Print

Ordered my 7000 yesterday and will be purchasing the Colorbyte rip as 
well. Can't wait to set it up and start printing. I am also looking 
at the 7500 for my color work but may consider a 9500 or 10000 . I 
would like to offer the most flexibility to my customers, even though 
I don't have any yet. 

 I will build my computer next week and connect to my existing 
network. I also have to purchase a new monitor. 
Question. Has anyone had experience with Lacie 22 in monitors? I have 
used Hitachi Supremes in the past and have a 21 Mits now, but I like 
the look of the Lacie 

Question. Once I have done some printing with the 7000 and Epson 
inks, what ink set and which papers would you recommend to start with

I will be printing for myself, I am using a Nikon D1X camera (love 
it) and also a couple of scanners, I would like to offer 
Photographers and Artist my services, Fine Art printing and perhaps 
other things as well. I plan on attending Art shows and Photo events 
and carrying samples with me, 

Question. In what ways have others been successful in attracting 
business to your printing services? 

Please note: I am doing this for fun but would like to at least make 
it pay for itself. Possibly having an Art student and or photographer 
come to work part time. 

Thanks for your help as always
