Digital BW, The Print

You really need to purchase samples to see what _you_ like, and then
consider the hardware/software/training needed.  As you can see, there are
people equally excited today about BO printing and K7, for an example of
extremes.
And don’t be upset when something new seems exciting, right after you make
your investment in money and time.

Best regards,
John Moody

Subject: Re: [Digital BW] Comparing prints for that "3 dimensional quality"?

I just wish I had been able to see the prints noted in several of these
posts--yours and several others (I've looked at the online images that have
been linked). I understand totally about the photographer and his input
being the most crucial, but after saying that---I keep wondering about OEM
(I'm waiting for a 3800, have a 2200 and 1280) vs., for instance, the
Piezography's K7 split tone set for the 2200 or Paul Roark's UT-7 or Clayton
Jones' approach using ABW with K3 inks.

Think I will just continue to follow along, try the 3800 'as is' and then
consider what more I"ll do. I have said previously, that I've
procrastinated for years about using a b/w dedicated printer (conversion of
my 1280) and working with QTR for monos in the 2200, so its not that I have
to rush to make a decision, but the threads concerning the prints in
NY/workflows, inks and printers by many and the results (though I missed the
initial information about that and need to go back and do a search for the
criteria) have gotten me to thinking about how I'm going to continue
printing monos in the future.
