Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

so have you - been awfully generous! I hope everyone out there 
appreciates the time and effort you're putting in here trying to 
explain the issue.

Thanks! I

Also, why is it so hard to understand - or accept - that the way 
photographers did it 10 - 20 years ago eye balling their prints was a 
totally different workflow and process? Wet darkroom and digital 
"darkroom" are two very different animals!

Come on folks - we're not doing wet darkroom processes here - spend the 
time learning and use the routines folks like Steve and Paul and others 
are teaching/explaining here - on their own time - and you all will be 
heaps better off.

The day I started doing calibrated workflow (Monaco EZ Color with 
Monaco Optix XR PRO - inexpensive - $350 now for the whole workflow - 
monitors, printers, papers) was the beginning of a new era for me - and 
my clients - for the first time I was/am able to get what you see is 
what you get from any one of my monitors/macs/paper to the printers I 
am using! No more spending hours trying to match the output to the 
monitor, wasting time, paper and ink - and when I FTP or send a client 
a CD/DVD with an image(s) I know they will be able to use it/them and 
not come back unhappily telling me the colors are way off.

Christer
