Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

I've been following closely your recent writings here, on your
website, and in the current issue of Shutterbug. I know you didn't
write the Shutterbug article but it was basically about your process
with the R1800 and I am keenly interested in this approach.

Would it be possible to order a print from you to see the actual
outcome? Doesn't have to be 'high art', just a print that would show
the range of tones, on a paper that you feel gives a fair shake to
your process. I'd truly appreciate that!

The Shutterbug article also suggests MIS inks and the refillable Epson
carts, but that's rather iffy right now, as you well know, given the
recent ruling in Epson's favor.

Regards!

Paul
