Digital BW, The Print

Hello Clayton,

first, let me thank you for the amazing work you do with your site, and 
what an incredible free source of information this is to the whole B&W 
community. This is real generous altruistic work to me.

Second, may I ask you what kind of monitor you use? Do you think that a 
properly calibrated "non-Eizo-colour-management" screen like the 
Samsungs, Benqs, HPs, whatever, can do the trick?

With my best regards,
Louis
