Digital BW, The Print

you are right.   i'd be outputing to an epson printer with mis inks 
as well as sending off digital files to labs for bigger prints (up 
to 24x30.  being as i am talking about landscape work, and currently 
work in medium format, i demand more out of the image than just a 
good 35mm version.  However, i'm not made of money and as it will be 
a back up to my medium format, it dosen't necessarily have to 
outperform it.
