(Big assumption, I know.) For everybody who already thinks this is pretty obvious, go ahead and ignore the rest. :) I was talking with Mr. Split Printer (or is that Split Personality?) himself, Mark Rabiner, who told me I shouldn't be printing black & white images with black ink. Whoudda thunk I'd get better B&W prints by using 3 colors + black? Wet or dry (split printing conventionally or inkjetting)...with his advice, my prints just keep looking better and better! I've also discovered the evils of having other people process your film. The tiny scratches didn't show up as much when I was printing my negs in the darkroom, but they *really* show up scanned at 4000 dpi. I've also discovered that autofocusing on a baby's eyes with a 35mm lens isn't the same as manually focusing with my M6 and a 35mm lens. The difference doesn't show up that much in a print when viewed from a normal distance, but the difference blown up is pretty astounding.
