Digital BW, The Print

Glad to see you are back Paul. Did you get some Prize winning photos of
Alaska?  How were the Mosquitoes?

A Monster storm hit Grand Forks day before yesterday. It did major damage to
the city, and there was
Lots of tree damage in our back yard, but we have it cleaned up now. Petunias
are wrecked totally, but for some unbelievable reason, the impatiens weren't
damaged at all!!! About 3/4ths of the trees in town were damaged, and about
5000 uprooted. Mostly in the older, nicer neighborhoods. 114 mile an hour
winds at the airbase, 101 mph in town. Never saw anything like it. Never want
to again!  We were without power 25 hours, still no cable t.v. Got about 3
inches of rain in 25 minutes, and couldn't even see the fence from our
sunroom.  Water all over the basement, because of the sump pumps being off.
But the water is all gone now, and sump pumps are working overtime.  Those are
hurricane force winds, but they claim it wasn't a tornado... Actually it
couldn't have been or there would have been a lot more building damage.

Did you get the prints I sent as you were leaving for vacation? I got a set of
MIS archival Color inks, with their double density black for my color printer.
Profiled my monitor with the spyder and colorcal software. Now I have to
profile my printer with the MIS inks. Have you ever used the MIS color
pigmented Archival inks, and if you have, how do they compare to the
Generations? I chose the MIS set because Bob said the double density black
inks would work with their color archival inks, and it's really black!
