Digital BW, The Print

Hi Steve,

I'm not looking to move to any new inks anytime soon!

However, you make a great point about the glop. It doesn't seem like the smoke has 
cleared on the whole glop deal yet, but I might be inclined to buy a smaller printer as a 
glop machine. 

I might just try the refillables and move up to the CFS later. I'm undecided. 

You were right in another post--that Renaissance wax is a lot of work. But it really looks 
nice on Ilford Smooth Pearl. Look, no fingerprints!

Thanks,

Jon
