[Digital BW] Re: BW inks for 7600

Chip, did you not mention you were thinking of doing print for pay?
This is just like being dedicated to fine darkroom work, there is a
steep learning curve to really do things right and stay as crisis free
as possible. I can't imagine keeping things running smoothly here
without ongoing calibration and constant learning.
If you were doing fine art darkroom print for pay, how much expertise
would you be expected to have?
For personal work, anything goes of course.
