Re: new papers (Silver Rag, Innova, 'Muhle) and BO printing?

2006-09-26 by sagaface

Shilesh...you're my hero. Thank you!!! I love BO on my 2200 but want larger prints and 
thought I might "upgrade" to the 4000 to use with those papers if someone could tell me 
it might be worth it. Sounds like a "yes" to me.

Oh, happy day!

thanks again for the info.
Sarah
