Check it out. I've participated in a half dozen, seen a lot of work by
reasonably good to fabulous B&W inkjet printers, learned a lot about
paper and inferred a lot about technique (I use QTR, B-O, and Epson
drivers as appropriate).
Plus, it's fun to look at a dozen photos, from out of the blue.
Tom O'Connell's the hero of this group...visit the site and take a
look at photos going back several years.
