It took me a while to wade through and understand all of the configuration issues that go along with fine-art paper, but I have it down now, and I've made about a dozen 11x17 black-and-white prints. I was always partial to the G finish on silver photographic paper; never much cared for E or F or X, and sometimes used R in special circumstances. The Hahnem?hle William Turner paper sure does print up like Kodabromide G used to. I've started scanning a few old (IIIf) negatives to make inkjet prints of shots that I did exhibition darkroom prints of. They look different, of course, but both look magnificent. I bought a 2400 instead of a 4800 because I didn't have physical space for the 4800. Maybe someday by the time I do have that much space, there will be an even-better printer that will hold 9 ink cartridges instead of just 8. My darkroom is probably going to get a little lonelier.
