Digital BW, The Print

Joe;

I agree with the conclusion you're arriving at: 'file tweaking' is 
undoubtedly the most important part of the printing process-in the 
end, it always comes down to 'file tweaking' whether in the 
darkroom, or digitally. This is where your own aesthetic and vision 
is expressed, what will separate you from the guy across the street. 
Even paper choice and David's advanced profile control is just 'file 
tweaking' by other means, and a further opportunity to express your 
individuality. And as you point out, the mechanics are getting 
easier and less time-consuming so we can get on with the real 
business at hand.

Now if I could just get these damn printers to give me a cleaning 
nozzle test.....
