Digital BW, The Print

well, I guess maybe I have not seen a great BO print on cotton paper, 
but I have seen what BO looks like on my cotton papers, and it looks 
great. The contrast is better by a bit than UT2 inks in my 1280, but 
also, if you put them side by side, the UT2 looks more professional in 
the sense that it is smoother, creamier, deeper front to back. With BO, 
I get a sense that the images are either two dimensional/flat, 
super-imposed on each other like a paper-doll house. Kind of like a 
cardboard cut-out of an image in front of a painted background. With 
UT2's a tree looks more rounded front to back. The dots dont bother me 
one bit. As far as me needing to work on my printing technique, you are 
probably right, and since I have the summer basically off (my day job 
teacher, night job trumpet player) I have plenty of time to spend on it 
right now. As I said, my observations are from a novice point of view, 
but that might be valuable to some people who check out this group. 
Hope I did not offend anyone......Cheers as they say, DM
