Digital BW, The Print

I have used both Blurb and Lulu, and the quality of the books from Blurb is better. The main problem I have had with both, is the quality of their B&W printing is not very good. Its practically the equivalent of going back to printing with a four color inkjet printer and having no control.

  Thank you, Keith. I went to both sites you referenced. It sounds like 
  Blurb may be the way to go: Archival paper and ready formats to work 
  witwith. It costs about the same as Lulu, and the quality may be a 
  little better, especially if copy is prepared the way the first article 
  recommends. Nancy
