Digital BW, The Print

hi, awahlster ,

you may nit be happy doing black only printing. You won't get the gradients you want 
from thist ype of printing. I'm using the VM Mix QuadTones, and having very good 
results (finally). I've done prints in both, and black only just doesn't do it for me.
As for what printers to get I have no advice for you on that one. I'm using a Epson 
Photo Stylus 1200 refurbished, and am happy with me prints. Although if you were to 
goto Epsons site, they don't even list for sale anymore. I guess it's outdated by 
technologys' standards.
Hope I could help.
