Subject: [Digital BW] Is anyone REALLY thrilled? Honestly?


I'm shooting actor headshots.  I've got a Canon d60, Epson 1280,
piezotone warm neutrals and... eh!  I'm waiting for "the paper" to
arrive because thusfar, with the Epson Archival Matte, the results
are just plain unacceptable.  The Hahnem\ufffdhle Photo rag is on
backorder, and I don't know if IT will satisfy whenever I finally
ACTUALLY see the stuff.  It's such a crapshoot, I'm this close to
returning to the darkroom.  Does the right paper REALLY exist?

Is anyone out there SO happy with their digital b&w production that
will PLEASE ease my fears that I've dived into a technology that
really hasn't gotten there yet?  Help me!!!  Is it possible to find
b&w satisfaction in the digital world?  Can real b&w be achieved?

I'm at a point where I just want someone to say, "try this paper
with that particular ink and printer and you'll get very good
results".  Because so far, well... I'm tired of wasting money.

Thanks for any thoughts.
