Digital BW, The Print

Understood!  :-)  I just think we are so close to legging Paul's workflow
and even BO printing to the next level.  Reflect on this forum for a bit and
you might conclude (as I do) that the two biggest gripes/issues people
grapple with are ink clogs and the fact that their prints don't match the
screen.  As Bruce noted, those focused on perfection will likely always be
disappointed with the latter even with a rigorous colour managed workflow.
But I think the bulk of the disappointment out there is not because of the
technical vagaries that muck up the last 10-20% variance.  The huge issue is
proofing the mapping the big transition from one space to another.  There is
little reason why this larger part of the issue should exist for the
diligent digital photographer today.  Then we can move on to griping about
the last 10-20% that Bruce refers to....  :-)
