Digital BW, The Print

Don,

Good move.  I support PW as well as PS because both use the same curves.
Although I have PS CS and like it, I think Adobe's latest licensing scheme
puts them over the top in being pigs.  I don't appreciate having to pay for
another new, full-price copy for my laptop, and I won't do it.  I'm back to
using PS 6 to make curves anyway because of its greater compatibility.  I
intend to always support some competition to PS in both curves and the
workflow I use.

The C82 is discontinued, but still available in a number of places.  It has
a more linear output that matches my CRT better.  The C84 has a
higher-contrast output that matches the LCD monitors in the house better.
They seem to be the same otherwise.
