Digital BW, The Print

I just saw this thread, and I have only been printing b&w  for the last year from scanned b&w prints.  They look great, certainly no lack of detail. They are scanned fron good prints to begin with, tho.  I would challenge anyone to pick one of these prints as scanned from a print rather than one printed from a scanned neg.  I can't imagine any more detail.
Just my 2 cents.
