Black Only printing technique: digital darkroom comments

2004-03-20 by spersky123

Hello,

After extensive research and reading and re-reading Clayton's site in 
addition to many other sites. I have decided what equipment I need in 
order to print Black and White succesfully from 35 mm prints.

Eboni ink from MIS for Epson 2200
Epson 2200
Nikon Coolscan V ED
Cheap Flat Bed scanner to make contact sheets.
Epson enhanced Matte paper.
Vuescan software (I already have this).
Photoshop CS ( I already have this).
Negative Developing supplies (I have this)

I develop my own film in Rodinal. I mainly use ilford FP4+ in 35 mm.  
I do not have a Darkroom just a changing bag and I plan to do just 
black and white printing.  Basically, that is my planned setup for my 
Digital Darkroom.  I will spend a  lot of money in the next few days 
and order this equipment.  Comments or advice is appreciated.  I 
consider this a starting point for my digital printing. I want to at 
least start with good equipment that I can experiment and grow with.  
Total cost is not much of an issue I have been saving for a while:)

thanks
Steve
