I shoot 35 and MF slides and Reala. I quit color printing in my darkroom
for good a year ago. However, I shot a roll of TCN 400 with the M3 last
weekend and dropped it off at a good lab to pe printed on silver paper. The
prints were superb. Black blacks and full tonal range are a surprise to me
in machine prints. I have tried for hours to equal them with PS7, a Nikon
LS4000 scanner and an Epson 3200, printing on an Epson 1270 trying
different modes and papers. Not even close... I'm glad I kept my Valoy. I
have had good results with b&w sent to a lab for printing on the Lightjet
5000. Does anyone have a solution for good quality b&w on the 1270?
