Digital BW, The Print

Hi Lea,

Image Print 5.6 is easy to use after set up which can be a bit 
complicated, particularly if using a firewire connection with your 
printer.  Once set up well it is very easy to use.  There is an 
extensive library of profiles for many different papers and special 
gray profiles for BW printing.  (Still a hint of metamerism, but 
close enought for me and I am particular)  There is a version 6 
being released in Feb. to which you can upgrade when available. The 
printing on semi-gloss papers is good, but not as good as dye 
printing.  Over all this is the best solution for me; using both 
matt and glossy papers and color and BW printing.

Paul
