Digital BW, The Print

Using my 4000, I just printed my first BW using the QTR 2.1 on Iford Smooth 
Pearl. It looks quite good.  I am more excited about the BW print than any of 
the color prints I have make on this printer.

I am not missing my 1160 loaded with MIS links quite as much.

The QTR is surely worth  $50.00
