Digital BW, The Print

It's always nice to get more information.  Thanks, Carl.  I think if I 
decided I needed glossy prints I'd be tempted to buy another C84 (I 
guess it's a C86 now) and set up another EZ ink machine.   Total cost 
would be under $100, and I could use the same bulk inks I now use in the 
C84 for all but the black position.

Cheers,
Kip
