Ink jet black and white prints are great, but not the look I'm after. I like prints on glossy fiber paper. Ink jet prints don't look or feel like fiber prints on glossy paper to me. Not better, not worse, but not the same. 2. I write software all day, I'd rather do darkroom than use Photoshop all day. 3. I know how to make good prints in the darkroom. I don't know how to do the same in Photoshop yet. I figure the learning curve is similar. 4. The computer system that I'd want to do B&W printing would cost around $3000. This is about what making a darkroom would cost. For me it's a wash. Pete - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
