Digital BW, The Print

John,
First time you were aware of that?.. Ole Wally world has been doing this for a while.. Not every store has them .. They (Epson)  even did special training programs for them..  We laughingly say they probably tried to pirate operators from Kinko's  ...fancy that.. Stepping back.. now just a bit further.. Epson set up a competition base to their own customers.. realistically we could all say they don't have the quality. But in truth they do if the image produced is deemed acceptable by the customer.

  Subject: [Digital BW] ABW is Walmart Special


    
  Well that is more than an ironic metaphor. I went into the Super Walmart the other day, up here in the burbs of Georgia to buy some soap, and low and behold there it was, the Super Walmart digital imaging center, complete with Epson 7880s, cranking out ABW prints by the thousands. I wish I were kidding but I'm afraid that IS what this HAS come to, right now, artistically created cheaper by the dozen "archival" pigment prints on Sommerset Enhanced. And they didn't even need QTR....
  Isn't life great.
