Digital BW, The Print

Hello Bob,

Thanks for another option,I never even thought of that. I just 
couldn't justify spending money on ink I never would use again. I'm 
dedicated to this black Only printing for all my images and couldn't 
do a mind shift into text printing. Thanks again.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny Eades
