Digital BW, The Print

Thank-you so much for your kind comments and offer.  I have the 
domain: ShortRunArtPrinting.com, but I don't have the digital press 
yet.  And, believe you me, the Indigo is not your typical desktop 
Epson.  I've watched "my" pressman work on his Indigo and it's pure 
artistry in motion.  And the results he gets are spectacular.  It's 
basically BO, so there are streaks and splotches, but for $2.50 
(retail) for a card, it is a knockout.  I'm drooling over trying 
duotone or quadtone, and for high volume, superior quality glossy 
note cards --- oh my, what a press. And for short run calendars and 
post cards.  Here's the thing - a press like this wants to work - 
it's like my 7600, it can tolerate an idle day or two, but if I can 
work it every day for at least an hour it is so happy and trouble 
free.  The Indigo likewise should be worked 6 hours a day.  And I 
don't have the volume yet, so that's the motivation for 
ShortRunArtPrinting.com.  It appears to me from the limited searches 
I've done that no other printers have this business model.  Their 
short runs are too long.  I see lots of up-side to this business 
model.

Ain't life grand?!
