Digital BW, The Print

Brian 

I am sorry but I am not familiar with the various brands available out
there.  Others here can suggest good, reliable brands and models that will
have the right specs and then you can see if you can find a used one for
sale.  I think it's better to find a few models that fit the bill and look
for them rather than trying to see if the myriad of options currently for
sale will.
