Digital BW, The Print

I am very sorry but I also meant to ask something else.  Is there any place
that sells something like this as a package deal, or is it always separate
parts fro different places?  And if so would anyone have any recommendations
on who to buy from?  Thank again.
 
Jim

    Hey people, well I have been reading this list for a while and I've
gotten a lot of great info from all of you, thanks.

    I have received a bonus through work and was going start the transition
in to digital printing.  I was wondering if I might run some thoughts on
equipment past you and get some feedback before I actually make my purchase.
I do mostly black and white work and have a few (on and off) years in the
darkroom, (but nothing professional).  

    So it seems like Epson is the printer of choice here, I was going to
start with the 1280.  I don't usually print much bigger then 8 by 10 but I
think it would be nice to have the option.  Then I would probably go with
the Niagara continuous flow system, and the ink supply VM archival inks
because I would like to get the richest blacks I can.  I would probably
start printing on Epson Archival Matte paper too.  I think that's about all
my budget will allow at the moment but I do plan on purchasing the Nikon
coolscan 4000 someday....maybe next bonus.  I work with someone who has a
canon 2700dpi film scanner and I will be using that for now.

    Well, sorry for the lengthy letter, I just wanted to make sure I am
heading in the right direction before I spend my bucks.  Any feedback would
be greatly appreciated, on or off the list.  Thanks again people, and take
care!

Jim Panzer
