Digital BW, The Print

Thanks folks, great responses and a lot of good info.

For Paul,

I am not familiar with the 7800/9800 so I looked it up on the Epson 
site. Looks like a fine printer with a lot of great features. I 
could not find anyone who has them in stock.....any suggestions?

Also, I am a commercial photographer with 30+ years of darkroom 
experience. I have an HP5500UV PostScript LF printer in my studio 
but it does not do B/W very well. I have tried profiling it but 
still get metamorism and color cross overs. Printing Black only is 
ok but not the end I am looking for.

Has anyone had any experience withe the new 7800/9800 yet or are 
there any reviews available?

Thanks

Mike Johnson
