Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul.
I have to agree with you also. The Premier paper is my favorite for
B&W due to it's nice d'max and visual scale and price point. On the
other hand I couldn't bring myself to throw away a 100ft roll of EEM I
already had on hand, so I used it up in getting my 7000 back up and
running this summer.
I have a new summer home with empty walls to fill and couldn't get the
Premier space in the vehicle going north last spring :) The EEM is
gone now and won't be replaced. I promise :}

Regards
Duane
