Digital BW, The Print

Hi Jesse, and welcome!

If you cannot afford the drum scanner, I would recommend finding someone
(preferably local) who has made the plunge, is scanning their own work, and
who will scan small batches for you on the side.  Establish that you have a
compatible work-flow, and that they are meticulous about dynamic range, and
get 16 bit scans.  A $5000 scanner purchase will also purchase 100 scans at
$50 each, and you don't have to learn anything!

Steadman,

Concerning cost of entry, I shoot 6X6 and some of my older negs are 4X5.  I
have an older HP flatbed scanner and HP deskjet printer.  I would therefore
need a new scanner, printer, and software.  Since I am picky about detail,
the thought of spending thousands for a scanner doesn't appeal to me right
now.  I've heard and read good things about the Epson 2450, however, I
haven't seen physical results.

I live in Chicago, but travel frequently.  Next week I'll be in San
Francisco and the week after LA.  I'd love to see results if I can connect
with any of you listmembers in my travels.

Hey Jesse....

Just jump on in!

Thanks for posting too...even if you aren't digital yet.

The cost to entry is pretty small if you have a scanner or digicam or
computer....Epson printers are not too expensive and the options of
Piezography or MIS/Roark is pretty easy too.

Good Luck,

Steadman
