Digital BW, The Print

I saw one at the PhotoEast show in NYC in the fall and it can't make
anything bigger then a 16x20. And the price.......youzer $$$$.
They are using the same technology that the iCarrier ($25,000) uses for
use in mini labs. It uses a high res translucent LCD in place of the neg
carrier with film.
