Hi,
I am a professional photographer and for a while now have I been looking into printing 
black & white good quality digital black and white images. I read much material and I saw 
many samples. Some of these samples I saw where done with Quadtone inksets and the 
results were excellent. The problem is that excellent is not good enough for me. I saw 
samples that were as good as prints on RC paper but I need higher quality than that. I do 
not care about the cost but I must have a system that meets my demands. Some folks 
were suggesting a system that involves a RIP and quadtone. What it today's VERY, VERY 
BEST technology for digital black and white printing? I am not sure how many of you 
actually saw an original Ansel Adams or Robert Mapplethorp print. This is the quality I 
need to achieve. Thank you for your insights.
Ken
