So you had to buy a dedicated printer, one that limits you to 8.5" 
wide prints - you had to buy 3rd party inks AND a refill system, you 
had to instll special profiles; you had to do a bunch of experiments 
to fix a problem, with the prints being too dark, including using a 
Monaco profiler.

I'm sorry but what part of "K.I.S.S." don't you understand?

I take my digital BW files to a local lab to have them 
photographically printed.  No fuss, no muss, no bother, and I can 
hav any size I want and they're all silver-halide so they are 
extremely archival.


Jay, one thing you need to understand about many people here is that 
they are the same kind of people who would rather spend their 
Saturdays in the garage, under the hood, working on their cars, 
instead of DRIVING them.    To some of the people here, refilling 
cartridges, profiling papers, and tweaking work flows is the FUN 
part of this hobby.
