Digital BW, The Print

Mike,

Thank you again for posting your wife's kind words. Sorry about the EAM! ;-)

Thank you also for posting your workflow. If your images require such
minimal sharpening then your drum scanner must be very sharp indeed. You are
recommending an older Howtek over a new Imacon, I've read other's say that
the Imacon's scans compare favorably to a drum scanner. I will send out for
a few to compare, but then I'll be comparing output from two different
scanners, with two different operators...

Still waiting for my print exchange package... impatiently. ;-)
