Re: [Digital BW] Comparing Epson ABW and QuadToneRip

2015-01-29 by hrblaine@...

Since I am the commenter referred to, I will reply.  B/W printing is a  
very small part of my life.  Altho I am retired, my major hobby is field  
trialing and hunting with fly fishing next in line after that.  I field  trial 
Field Dog Stud Book (FDSB) English Pointers (short hair, long tails  NOT 
German Shorthairs) and American Kennel Club (AKC) English Cocker  Spaniels.  From 
time to time, I judge FDSB field trials (mainly  English Pointers and E 
Setters).  When I print, I don't want to fool around  on a computer, I want to 
PRINT.  ABW lets me do that.  Altho, as I  said, I'm not aiming for museum 
quality, I feel that I know a decent print when  I see one (and as I posted, 
my sales to professional dancers and the use of one  of my pictures on a 
magazine cover gives me the confidence to say that.)   And I was misquoted.  I 
did not say, "just use ABW", i believe I said, "I  just use ABW."  The rest 
of the world can do whatever suits it but ABW  suits me, so my advice is 
MYOB and I'll mind mine!!
