Digital BW, The Print

Right, Jim, it's a race to the bottom. 

Walker's right QTR rocks in so many ways. It is an amazing resource for both K3 and Piezography. 



 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.

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....
