[Leica] Land/Icescape 6 IMG

[kcarney1 at cox.net (Ken Carney)]

Frustrating, yes.  My darkroom is being converted into a room for my wife to
grow seedlings during the winter.  I sold all the silver printing gear with
value on ebay, and gave away the pt/pd gear to a friend who has taken that
to a new level (my UV exposure box is still used, but now he now has a NuArc
plate burner...).  Even he is thinking about digitally enlarging 8x10 negs,
since the NuArc will handle up to 20x24 prints. 

B&w inkjet is a devil.  I have not found a solution other than the
ImagePrint RIP.
