Digital BW, The Print

Hi Mitch:
You've come to the right place! I'm a mere beginner, but there are some very 
helpful experts who monitor the group regularly and will probably come forth 
soon. I can point you to a couple of those experts now:
Roy Harrington, who does the QuadTone RIP (QTR) has just released a new 
version at:
http://www.quadtonerip.com/html/ReleaseNotes2.5.1.txt
Unfortunately, he says he will be away much of April, so he may not be very 
accessible for a while.
Clayton Jones has a great website with tutorials discussing methods and 
materials at:
http://www.cjcom.net/digiprnarts.htm
Tyler Boley and many others in the expert category will also be chiming in, 
so start checking this site regularly and best of luck!
Bert

Subject: [Digital BW] Help me set up B&W digital printing, please


I have been photographing for 40+ years, 30 years professionally, with 
traditional
equipment--35mm - 4X5.  I am 57 years old, self taught  and a slow learner. 
I have to learn
how to print my black and white negatives digitally.  We live on an island 
in Maine with
sensitive aquafers.....no longer able to use my traditional darkroom.  I 
have invested in Macs
and Epson printers andd currently print most color work on an Epson 7600.  I 
bought an
Epson 7000 used hoping to use it to make black and white prints.

There is soooo much stuff out there I don't know where to turn for a good 
basic introduction
re how to set all this up.  I have an R2400 also-- think I read somewhere 
that it was a good
printer for B&W.

I have also been told that a Harrington Quad tone RIP is a good system that 
isn't too hard for
an old fart to learn.

Greatly appreciate any good advice. Can't afford to get out of the business 
right now with two
girls in college and lots of bills.

thanks,

mitch
