Digital BW, The Print

That's good to hear. Part of my trepidation is using the 2200
to also get into color printing, monitor calibration, profiling and
the like. Right now I use pretty simple tools - PWP, a laptop with
a Dell Trinitron hooked up to it and the C86.

It's good to hear that the basic stuff remains easy with the
2200. I'm still learning :-)
