[Digital BW] Re: Suggestions on large black and white output?

2003-06-10 by Allyen Wilson

There is an outstanding printer in the Denver metro area who can do a print
for you. You can choose from 1 of 3 Piezotone inksets and his prices are
unbeatable. Your 1st 20x30 would be about $99 and subsequent prints discount
to $60 if I interpret his pricing page correctly. He prints all of my work.
His name is Ron Landucci and you can check out his website at
www.infinite-editions.com.
