Digital BW, The Print

Don, you are right about the inkjet label problem.  I have it even though I
use a Colorspan 11 color printer for my fine art prints.  No banding, and
absolutely wonderful blacks (either 4K or 11color).  To some degree I get
around this with always showing a 4¹ by 5¹ print drum scanned etc from
original 11² X 14² chrome.  Public does not associate this size and quality
print (and my others by association) with an inkjet printer.  Additionally,
I label them as ³microthermal² prints.  J Vee  (www.jvee.com)
