Digital BW, The Print

Steve and John,

Wow. Thanks for the great information. This list is such a great
source of information and confusion too as so many people have strong,
differing opinions on the right way to go with things but your two
responses have got me off on the right track to begin this long trial
and error process. I'm hoping to go to a larger format printer in the
future as people have asked me for larger prints but for now I'll try
to get the most out of my 2200 and I still have another brand new 1280
that I can use perhaps as a dedicated BW printer. I just don't want to
commit too much money into these if my plan is to upgrade to a 4000 or
bigger. I make my living solely through music and now, gradually,
sales of prints so I'm not really rolling in the dough. With these
investments I better start selling a lot more prints!

Thanks again for terrific information.

Paul has also been very helpful in the past but it's like talking to
ObiWan Kanobe (sp) sometimes. I don't understand a lot of what he's
talking about because I don't come from a schooled photographic
background but I've been gifted with the "eye" so to speak.

I met Paul and went up to see his stunning work in Solvang.
Mindblowing stuff. If I can start to get print quality half that good
I'll have some happy customers.

I look forward to spending a lot more time here with all of you.
