I would really welcome any input from LUG members on these two areas. I am using Coolscan V both with original Nikon scan software and Vuescan I have Epson R800 & PSCS2 with Monitor and printer profiled properly (scanner profile underway). I am pretty satisfied with output from scanning transparencies and the printing on Fujifilm Premium Plus Photo paper and Epson premium glossy. I use the original ink-set. The B/W only alternative inks from third parties sound promising, but I think I'd need to do that in a separate dedicated printer. Saving for the Epson 2400. There's a deal of contradictory opinion out there regarding scanning B/W as colour neg then grey scale output vs scanning as B/W neg. I tend to favour as little scanner software manipulation of the scan data as possible (RGB channels balance, exposure settings etc etc) Now if I could just get a scanner with a Focotar lens....

This is a good time to get into digital printing. They've just come out with 3 new papers that are wonderful. I'm using a Nikon LS5000 to scan and an Epson 4800 to print. The new papers are Crane Museo Silver Rag, Innova FibaPrint Gloss, and Hahnemuehle Fine Art Pear. Here is a review of the papers: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/printers/Innova-F.shtml Have fun! Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com ------------------------------
