Digital BW, The Print

Thank you Steve. I did leave out the detail about the paper I plan to use, didn't 
I? I plan to use a matte paper so your input is on pencil type is greatly 
appreciated. It is my belief that pencil is more subdued than ink so it doesn't 
take away from the image. 

I certainly understand I would have to use ink on a glossy surface. Even 
though not in my plans right now, this one is good for the knowledge-base, so 
anyone with experience in this area with recommendations on a brand or type 
of pen is welcome, not just for me but others following this thread.

thanks all,
Craig Snyder
