Digital BW, The Print

everyone I know with 4000s have had similar stories. The only one I've personally used, 
with K7s, seemed fine for the most part, but I'm only around it a week a year <G>.
No idea how well it does the rest of the year. Another friend has been through 3 or 4 just 
like the rest of you.
