Digital BW, The Print

Hello Ginny,

Yep.  In spite of its graininess, BO remains popular with a lot of
photographers.  Over the past few years there have been several
reports of people showing pairs of identical images printed with BO
and full ink, to laypersons, who chose the BO one because "it looks
better".  It has fine qualities, you just have to choose which images
to use it with.

The 2200 is a really fine BO printer.  The only thing better (that I
know of) is the 4000.  It has a more random dither pattern which
results in slightly smoother tones.

BTW, I must disagree with the person who suggested to go do some
research on your own - your questions are most welcome.  It's what
this forum is all about, so ask all you want.  There are lots of
silent readers who I'm sure will be benefitting from these
discussions, so you are asking for them as well.  This forum is not
just for the convenience of more experienced users.  That's my .02 worth.

Regards,
Clayton
