Digital BW, The Print

I recently added (note not replaced) an HP Z3100 24" model to my digital darkroom.  I am 
a big fan of Epson and have been using my 2400 for quite some time.  I am still in the 
experimental phase of my work with the HP Z3100 but thus far I'm impressed.  The I've 
done some comparison prints between the 2400 and Z3100 and notice that the 2400 still 
has a slight edge in BW (very slight).  

If you are looking at larger output size options the HP looks very promising - stay tuned.
