Digital BW, The Print

Just back in from PMA in Las Vegas.

There is a plethora of choices out there.  There was even a gallery 
of prints of a 'standard' image with color references etc. from many 
of the exibitors products.  In hind sight I should have spent more 
time there.

Many papers.  Many small digital cameras.  Many Dig.SLR's.  Several 
mid-level Dig's (like Canon g2/g3).  Lots of software.  I left with 
the impression that if you are not getting good results then either 
return to the supplier and ask a few more questions, presuming your 
OEM workflow; or you have mis-matched expectations with 
product/purpose.

For those of you who miss silver prints advangtages & simply love 
shooting with a digital camera, you might check out the Devere 504 DS 
(and keep the darkroom too).  Would seem intoxicating to shoot and 
correct digitally and print traditionally for some (maybe me).

Hi Cleavis,


Interesting hybrid system.
On their site it says:
The digital enlarger system uses the latest mega pixel LCD. 

Do you know how many megapixel?
