Digital BW, The Print

Yes, I tried 2880dpi.  I'm not too dissapointed with it, but I think 
that I can probably buy a decent amount of MIS ink for 200 bucks and 
get REALLY good output.  I feel like PowerRIP gets me 90% of where I 
want to be.

I think that PowerRIP is a good solution, but I wasn't happy enough 
with initial results to go further into testing.
