Digital BW, The Print

Tyler,

We both know this is fiction, especially you. Two can be nice with a
rip, yes, unbeatable of course not.
The real seduction of the Phatte black is allowing one to jump back
and forth between glossy and rag, which is something a lot of us would
like to do, and I want to do it, but not at the sacrafice of the
ultimate high values. I don't know, I change my opinions about this
issue every week. I won't decide right now.  I just found out at best
it will be mid February before I could get a 9800 anyway. I'd rather
play around with K6 for awhile.

I just wondered if someone was sold on this Phatte Black concept. So
far besides the Image Print people, I haven't heard anyone talking it
up really.

John
