Digital BW, The Print

Printing is relatively easy.  It's a craft and requires knowledge and skill
but that should not take years to learn given the right tutelage, focus and
experimentation with different workflows, inks and media to identify that
which suits your artistic tastes.  More like months.  Taking good photos and
applying the whole chain of skill to get from picking up a camera to an
image ready for printing is another matter.  In the overall process of
getting a final image to paper, printing is probably the easiest component,
especially with today's hardware and software.   The efforts of Epson, Roy
Harrington, Paul Roark et al have made workflows easy to grasp and deploy.
Capturing and editing a great image is the hard part.
