Digital BW, The Print

No, using Epson inks to make B&W is the road to color shifted images in a short time.  :)

What I was referring to was looking at prints or looking at computer images. The original discussion was about prints versus screen images.

So the comparison was to listening to live music or a recording of live music on an iPhone... a stretch I admit. even a tad sarcastic...  The print is always what it is. It is the print. But if we begin to look at images on displays - they will end up one day on iPhones. A display is what it is - a moving target.
