Digital BW, The Print

Ginny,
I guess you just made an argument for saving in 16 bit; so that you can do
the test without rescanning.  :-)

I can tell you that I see smoother gradations from OPM with 16 bit files on
my old 2200.  I can also tell you that I throw out nearly all my BW prints
every couple months because I’m struggling with the creative side, going
back to the original files with new hope.

Best regards,
John Moody

Dear John,

Apology accepted and appreciated.

Your explanation is most sensible. Thanks for taking the time to give
me all the details.
What I'd really like to see is how one of the new printers that can
handle 16 bits does in the 8 bit vs. 16 bit 'shootout' :>.
Will the prints actually look different? You would think so but I'm
won't be convinced until I see it.

Putting that factoid aside, even if the prints do NOT appear any
different, your words still stand apart on their own merit.

Thanks again for the explanation.

Best Regards
Ginny
