Re: The B&W Print System Gap

George,

Wonderful prints. I really love the picket fence. I have been seeing 
your work in print now for quite a few years and it has always 
pleased my eye. I came to the zone system first by way of Fred 
Picker's book. Fred used to write the most annoying things but he had 
some bits of sage Yankee advice, "Find a photographer who makes good 
prints and find out how they do it." So here I am.

George,

Do you feel this is a result of the quality of how the 7000 lays down 
ink, the increase in print size or both.
