You neglect to mention the black and white prints from new Epson, HP, and 
Canon models you looked at in the ColorVision booth, Andy. As well as the paper 
prints at the lightbox, there were a series of large canvas prints in both 
color and B&W, all processed through PrintFIX PRO 2.0 profiles. The canvas prints, 
printed by   a fine art printing company called Numart in Quebec, were a real 
crowd pleaser. The 13x19 B&W images I was printing on Entrada Natural 
mysteriously disappeared about as fast as I cranked them out. It was hard to keep any 
samples on the table.
