Digital BW, The Print

Every time I post something here these days someone tries to sell me IJC
;) - But unfortunately I'm on PC, so I'll just have to wait for the
windows version. I asked Bowhaus if they would consider a free upgrade
to the PC version if I bought the mac version now, but they don't do
that. Otherwise I would consider buying a cheap mac and IJC to use as a
print server while waiting for the PC version. I'm just reluctant  to
get stuck with yet another noisy computer in the apartment, having five
already.

This was mostly something I tried for fun, since the Jim Hayes made the
suggestion a short while ago. I've also tried the same thing with the
Epson Light Black in the Y position with different, but equally poor
results. I'm really happy with the ultratones and matte papers though,
they give me great BW prints.
