Digital BW, The Print

I should think that would work fine. I generaly don't have any serious
time constraints so just let them sit around awhile. For me the main
difficulty with the issue is my impatience when dealing with work
prints with subtle near neutral toning. When I'm in a printing streak,
I don't even like taking the time to drag out a hair dryer and
plugging it in. Sad commentary but true.

Regards
Duane
