Doug, here's something more to get you excited: Archival ink kits for the Epson printers, including a brand-new quad-tone greyscale kit! I can hardly wait to get my Stylus Photo 1200!! I've got the big new Sony monitor running fine, I've got Painter 5 and GIMP 1.04 and a ton of images--all I need are scans and that printer! http://www.missupply.com/store.cgi?cart_id=3891733.26614&page=arcinks.html There are exceptions, of course, but for me, most Ilfochrome prints that I've seen, while technically very pretty, lack a certain something. To paraphrase a well-known writer, the beauty reaches the backs of your eyeballs, and goes no further.
