Digital BW, The Print

Paul-

I was looking for a "warm, warmer, warmest" relationship... With the 
speed of the piezo driver... Just wishing the ball in the hole, I 
guess.

I'm looking forward to the sepia/neutral VM. I used to say I like 
cool prints... After using your set, I see that I really only mean 
neutral. While the use for sepia is only ocassional, it is far more 
likely to be used than the truly COLD <g>.

You're our hero...
