Greetings Sean,

Welcome aboard.  As a lover of black&white who has completely made the
switch to digital, I read these threads with interest as everyone has
something to contribute.  The questioners start the thought process,
and the answerers conplete it.  It is great.

I am about to order my second Epson printer.  An R2400, which will
replace an R800 that I decided to sell because of its limitations with
B&W printing and the 81/2" carriage.  I am looking forward to being
able to print larger and experimenting with the ABW settings.

Keep shooting and see the tones of the world!

Keith
