RE: [colorvision_group] Re: Not satisfied with PrintFix Pro profile - Any way to improve?

I'm the other one! I learned the craft in a darkroom in the 60's. Digital is
getting closer to the "real" thing every day, but it's not there yet.
There's just something about Kodachrome 25 that will never be duplicated,
especially since it is no longer made. Check out the 3800 paired with
PrintFix Pro and QImage for B&W - it's light years ahead of the other
Epson/software combos I've owned before. Put in some Epson Premium Semi
Matte Photo 250 paper and it's almost like the good old days in the darkroom
(without that great stop bath smell, though).

>>>I still prefer B&W, but I do find it more difficult to print B&W with
inkjet printers, even with all these super duper new inks. We
definitely have not found our Ansel Adams for digital printing. I
doubt that I am the only person who likes the flexibility of digital
processing, and even many of the final results, but who finds much of
the print-tweaking technology much less intuitive than darkroom work.
