Digital BW, The Print

Larry,

You will not be disappointed.

I have been making digital negatives on my Epson 10k and the results 
are outstanding. I have been refining the curves and should be 
in "printing" mode shortly. I have been making small negs for 
testing, but with Pictorico now selling the OHP in 24" rolls, the 
possibilities are endless.

With the tight tight dot pattern of the 9600 (like the 10000) I think 
you will be amazed at what can be done. BTW, I started with 
Burkholder 2000P curve and have been refining it from there using 
the "Color Fill" method as well as the 6 color method.

Let me know how you progress.

Mike
