Digital BW, The Print

Steve--

I just did exactly that. I have printed exactly one print on the 1280, 
and that was on PGPP, but the dmax difference between that and 
the same print on HWM was stunning ( I should, of course, do an 
apples to apples comparison. I will, this weekend). I found that the 
1200 prints were "rough" (paul roark's term) compared to a similar 
print in color on my 1270--that's part of what drove me to the 
change. That, the ability to print on glossy, and the dmax.
