Digital BW, The Print

John,
I have been keeping an eye on the Canon printers
lately and also saw some very good B/W prints at WPPI
in Las Vegas, printed on the new generation printer.
There was one image on display that had a bit
colorshift, and my opinion, was a profile issue, could
be fixed. The demo crew printed out a b/w on
pearl/lustre type paper, totally pure b/w. It was very
good. As well was the the matte fine art image that
was printed later on, but I had no chance to feel it
since there was a good volume of visitors in line to
learn more. Solid image with photographic quality, I
can see photographers who has been sceptical towards
inkjet, finally taking the step to own a printer with
speed, quality and colors. B/W or color, the new line
of printers will produce images that will please many
critical eyes. I belive that Canon finally got it
right, really right...
