Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Paul,

Thanks for the link-I have checked out Clayton's website and like it a
lot. In fact I forgot to mention that one of my reasons for bringing
up the Epson 220 is its ability to make good BO prints. I like the
warmth and 'grain' of the BO prints from the C86 but I have horizontal
banding when I print that way.
