Digital BW, The Print

Mark, 

I only printed one large scanned image.  The original was a 4X5" 
color photo, and I scaled it up to 8X10 at 300 ppi, 42 bit during the 
scan.  I processed the hell out of it in PS, but it looked tremendous 
on screen.  Actually it looked great on the print too, with the very 
minor exception of the lines.  I haven't tried a digital image yet, 
as I just bought the paper today. 

The lines are only noticeable in bright light when held to an angle, 
and I only see them in the darkets black areas.  Kind of weird.  They 
run the length of the print, so they are opposite the travel of the 
ink jet mechanism.  

Ahhhh....technology, what a joy!

:O)  Lou
