Digital BW, The Print

Thanks, that's always good advice and it never hurts to hear it again.
 One of the things I have loved about BO is it kept me out of all this
business about curves and stuff, and now here I am in the thick of it.
 Sigh.  I have enjoyed 2 years of bliss with the 2200 and now feel
like I'm starting all over again, searching for something I can be
happy with.  I hope to nail it down pretty quick and go back to a
simpler life.  I've made some progress with Condor this evening, but
will withhold final judgement until I can get some Eboni in here and
see what it does.  It may throw everything cattywampus and I'll have
to readjust all my settings.  Also some progress on a QTR BO curve,
but so far does not equal the 2200 BO quality, so I don't know whether
that will be a viable option.  I hate being dependent on a machine. 
One machine wears out and the next one is so different it completely
changes your workflow.  Maybe I'll just quit this and take up drawing
with a #2 pencil <g>.

Regards,
Clayton
