[Digital BW] Re: Do Printers Only Accept 8 Bit Files?

2004-09-03 by Scott Graham

Hi Bob,

I know, but I figure the more I do in PS the better.  Better conversion algorythmns, etc.  But 
for 16>8   I suppose it doesn't matter.  Just keeping up the habit.  Does make print files 
easier to store though, which I do if I expect to make more prints.

Thanks
Scott
