Digital BW, The Print

I've not seen a dig neg from an image setter, but I've had more emails from
folk who don't like them than those who do.
I think that inkjet are gret at what they do, but they are not replacements
for a silver print... yet/. I'm now just using both. But I'd love to be able
to apply my PS skills and get a silver print!
