i did BO printing w/ Epson 1280, but sold it prior to getting a 2400. 
big mistake. 

for black and white prints i got better results w/ BO, 1280 
method...actually, much better than anything i've been able to eek 
out of the 2400 following Clayton's 2400 instructions. 

also, i no longer need wide format.

finally, i don't shoot film. my files come from a canon 5d.
