Digital BW, The Print

Hi Dona...

Could you give us a little more info...for example what sizes would you like 
to work with?  Do you want to be a high volume digital processor or just a 
for pleasure printer.   Little clues like that would help us help you.

Subject: [Digital BW] Introduction and questions


Hi! I am new here, new to digital black and white printing but  not new
to the darkroom :) I owned and operated a custom black and white lab in
NYC for a number of years but that was a looooong time ago but for all
intensive purposes I am a complete newbie, especially, to this
technology. After many years in a completely different field I have
decided to go back to photography and after considering all of the
difficulties of setting up a darkroom have decided to go digital. Of
course, I was spoiled with my black and white images and would desire
to hit the ground running with the best possible prints. :) I know, I
know... that will not happen since there is so much to learn. But I
guess my first question is regarding hardware... since I am starting
from scratchm, pretty much, but do not have unlimited funds... what
would you recommend as a starting place in terms of printers, inks, and
paper? I realize this is a lot to ask and you have probably been here
many times before but if there is anyone willing to work with a newbie
like me I wouuld greatly appreciate it.
Dona
