Digital BW, The Print

Bernie, 

Simply use a smaller printer for your own prints and then if you have an image you want large on your wall, take it to a service bureau.  Much cheaper that way...as opposed to buying a 7000. 

Most people only have room on the walls at home for so many large prints anyway....and spouses do have a say every now and then too..."not another.."

  At inkjetmall I read:
  "PiezographyTBW Pro24 is designed as a Pay for Print system for Photo Labs
  and Service Bureaus"  -

  2100$ software plus 4000$ for the printer - considering that my 1160 was
  300$  it should be pretty obvious that this is not what I meant isn´t it?

  I consider this as a missing link - a modern successor for the 3000 with
  micro dot technology up to A2 in the 3000 price range.
  Being an amateur I will not spend 6000$ for hanging big prints on my walls -
  let alone the cost for a bigger PC which is up to the task.

  So for A2 sized photos I will most likely have to go the traditional way and
  print them in a darkroom. Sometimes this seems a very simple way compared to
  the technological (and financial) overkill that is necessary to do that
  digital stuff...

  Greetings Bernhard
