Digital BW, The Print

As always, the subject is too complex for my simple questioning.
My color use will be almost exclusively for digital negatives on 
pictorico overhead transparancy paper.
I guess I was just looking for general "Yes it works well, or, No 
it's complete crap" sort of feedback.
It's moot now.  I've gone ahead and taken the plunge...

Thanks,
