Good point Godfrey ;-) You are absolutely right. But, when talking about getting the printing right first, I was thinking about printing out the files I have on computer now. I have taken near 4000 exposures with my DS, and none of them is printed out. The reason is simple, because the printer I have now stinks. (No point in wasting ink and paper on something thats no good).
When I am satisfied with the results, then I have a baseline for my scans. Does that make any sense?
