Digital BW, The Print

I forgot to add in my last email Jerry,
Don't you think it is amazing how far we have come in two years? Before this
list started, we had one inkset, one 'approach', Somerset Velvet 'uncoated'
was the best paper available. Now we have umpteen inks/tones, rips, RGB
workflows, numerous tones to choose from, so many papers, and we can still
discuss what is the 'best' combination of materials. Long may it be so!
