Digital BW, The Print

Matt;

If you check back through the last two days of messages you'll find 
my most recent report on doing just that. Look it up, it might save 
you some time. 

It can be done, but there are mechanical problems that make it 
frustrating with a desktop printer; I have now officially given up 
on running it through my 1280, and am about to load the glop in the 
K cart of my 7500. I simply got too frustrated by having otherwise 
perfect prints marred at the last minute by roller tracks, pizza-
wheel tracks, head scrapes, etc. But by all means, take a crack at 
it, trying it is cheap. The best papers I've found so far are Epson 
Premium semi-gloss, amd premium semi-matte. I would offer you a 
sample, but it'll be several days before I get the change-over done.

Keep us posted-
