Digital BW, The Print

I don't mind spending long hours in the darkroom; I am perhaps more interested in 
printing digitally for repeatability (so I don't have to retouch the same 20x24 print every 
time I print it) and theoretically to cut down my amount of time spent printing, so I can 
focus more on exposing images.

Regards,
~Joel
