Digital BW, The Print

Tell her that inkjet prints on _good_ printers sell for thousands of
dollars.... :-)
The difference huge, if you know what to look for, but still obvious if you
don’t.  Also ofoto prints will fade, if that matters to you.

I’m not sure where you live, but call the local galleries and ask if they
have any inkjet prints.  I recently took a trip to Santa Fe and saw lots of
great work.  Ironic, because I live an hours train ride from NYC.

Your best bet is to buy something inexpensive, like the R220 and get
started.  Follow this list for several months to get grounded in the basics
(and not so basics) and see where it leads.  If you find it’s not for you,
you still have a useful office printer.  Read everything on Paul Roark’s
website for starters, and come back with questions.  Clayton Jones has a
very good site as well, not to be missed.

Best regards,
John Moody

Subject: [Digital BW] Beginner justification

I'm trying to describe to someone (in an effort to justify the
purchase of something) the quality difference between a print made on
say an R200 printer (black only or not) and a print I could buy online
at a standard online printing service - like ofoto or mpix or
something.  Since I've never seen a direct comparison (and I don't
have one to use for show and tell) my efforts so far have been less
than successful.

Can anyone quantify the differences in words?  (I realize this may be
hard to do)

Thanks, Brian
