Digital BW, The Print

Hello Yeung-Seu Yoon,

Thank you very much for the information. That is just what I needed to
know. I had a feeling that I was chasing my tail with all of those
cleaning routines. I would hate to give up the print quality that I
have seen from this system. I just want to make prints.

It's good to know that an investment in the CIS will not be throwing
good money after bad. Thanks for the advice.

Wayne
