I've read so much here and elsewhere about B/W printing that my head is spinning. I think Piezography or other dedicated inksets aren't for me because I also want color. From what I've read, it seems the 2200 is the printer *most likely* to satisfy me for making B&W prints on matte papers. I'm planning to try the 2200 with stuff like "black only" and duotone printing, hoping to find satisfaction somewhere between dots and colors! I'd love to get a Wacom. That may be the one thing I splurge for on top of the rest...perhaps in a few months. Which size/version do you have? - -Aaron - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
