Thanks very much but I've already seen B3 prints from a 2400 so I know
what it looks like.  I appreciate your willingness to do that but I
wouldn't want you to go to the trouble when it isn't necessary.  It's
not an avenue I'm pursuing right now.  I only got into this discussion
because Steve Karafyllakis got a 3800 (we live in the same town) and I
finally have a real print to examine.  It answered my question re
whether the 3800 can do BO - it can't.

Regards,
Clayton
