Exactly what Clayton said.   The UT7 prints from my D70 files are too
smooth and too clean. I know that makes no sense to some people.  

I like grain, I like Rodinal.  I like some kind of character.  BO has
something.  If I am going to be shooting more digital than I am TX
then I'd really want my printer to let me print BO if I wanted.
