I was questioning the digital enlarger route because I was thinking of 
getting one for my business. We have been printing fiber base black and 
white professionally for over 20 years, I am very aware of archival 
washing. BTW we only get $50.00 for an 11x14 (conventional) print.

We have no problem getting Epson prints (color and quad) with no 
banding and no visible dither pattern.
