Re: [Digital BW] Seeking a "quickstart guide/opinion" to quality BW printing

Carl, you can tone the true black and white prints from Mpix with traditional darkroom 
toning techniques.  I've used sepia and selenium toning baths, but am pretty cheesed 
about lith redevelopment.  Mpix does good work, and takes the difficulty out of the 
darkroom, so you can concentrate on the post processes.
