Digital BW, The Print

An Inexpensive Canon Flatbed scanner will do just fine for these
pictures. About $200.  Adobe's Photo Elements software will do all you'd
ever need for this type of work. About $99. An Epson 1280 printer ($379
or so) or even a less expensive PHOTO quality epson printer will also do
just fine. If you want to keep ink costs down, get a continuous inking
system, and the VM variable tone inkset from inksupply.com

I would recommend the nomorecarts.com CIS ink delivery system. Dave at:
dave@... could tell you the name of a dealer that sells it.
