Subject: Re:OT - To print or buy ?
I am interested in your findings. I print more in the winter and it is time
to buy supplies for the Epson. I don't know if I can break the habit
because it is my last link to film days when I developed the film and
printed in the darkroom. Sometimes I think I am only making proofs for the
ones I want to send out for enlargement or metal prints.
