Digital BW, The Print

Hello Scott,

Oh, drat.  I just paid $79 <g>.


>I mention this because there has been some recent discussion here 
>that this printer is capable of producing better B&W prints than 
>the C-86 (that's hard to believe!).

I think the discussion has centered around it's BO ability, which as a
general observation of user reports seems better than C86.  Mine is
making BO prints that are nearly as good as the 2200 ones.  User
reports seem to indicate that most C86 BO prints are too coarse, with
a few users reporting better results.  This is all anecdotal of
course.  Hard to say for certain until someone does a comparison of a
bunch of BO prints from a number of printers.


Regards,
Clayton
