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

2006-11-24 by Diane Fields

Its a sensible thing to do if you have the room and the need for the high 
volume printer.  Its been suggested before--well, actually to buy a 4800 
with rebates, etc.---but it won't work for me.

I wanted to say congratulations, Tyler, for your inclusion in the special 
edition of  Black and White mag.  Beautiful image.

Best, Diane

because no one else seems to suggest it.
If you are truly interested in a dedicated mono printer and the K6/7s,
you can get a used 7000, 7600, or 4000 for very reasonable prices, QTR
for 50$, the inkset and be up and going with extraordinary high
quality and good print size for far less money and no hassle...
This of course, after deciding you want that kind of setup.
I had the chance to get a used 7600 for $500 and passed it up, stupid...
