Digital BW, The Print

As I was reading this thread, I was struck that 2 differernt custom 
printers were helping someone who was using a different printing 
house. I took a workshop several years ago at West Coast and I think 
they are great folks who provide a great service.  But it has been a 
very long time since Rich particpated here.  I would just like to 
thank Tyler and John for being so helpful and encourage those who 
need a printing house to consider trying them.
