Digital BW, The Print

Roy,

I think then, that I will do the show on 4/1 (I incorrectly wrote 5/1) with the 2200 
and my old workflow.

I am however still interested in experimenting with the 7600 at some point.  
Please do drop me a line when you make progress.  I do have a 
densitometer.

On a side note, I am a bit shocked that the 7600 is not smart enoght to realize 
to do a cleaning cycle only on the black print heads when changing from 
matte to photo black or vice versa -- a tremendous waste of ink!

Thanks and take care.

-John
