Re: WHEN will we get simple, reliable BW printing??

2200 Epson BO is good for clients who are not demanding "gallery" quality
images.  Last week I produced 170 8x10" matte for a restaurant.  Mostly they
had old photos, copy photos, the stuff was not all that great to start with,
the short range of the BO actually helped these pictures, they were very
happy. I get $20 each for those.  The restaurant was happy with the price,
because they don't need to mat the prints to frame them (they would with
real photos) so their saving on the framing was a huge selling point.
Another job last week was copying Ambrotypes for a local museum, and the BO
would not even come close to getting where we needed to be because shadow
detail is critical.  So, I use them both depending on the job.
