Digital BW, The Print

Apparently, there are  a lot of perfectly succesful, talented photographers out 
there who don't get what bw printing is all about. I just listened in on a 
presentation by Jeff Shewe who showcased the 2200 and lots of prints of his 
work, bw among others.  They weren't bad, but if that was the only option 
available, I would keep my darkroom. They don't hold a candle to what we are 
talking about here. 

The only thing going for the 2200 is that it offers a one-printer solution that 
does an adequate job of  printing the occasional monochrome portfolio print. 
Very helpful to the photographer who doesn't want to get into the esoterica of 
piezo printing and that second, third and fourth printer - depending on the 
desired hue! 
Color may be another matter, though.
