Ouch! I'm a big fan of digital color printing. I love working on a scan in PhotoShop and then trying to make a perfect print. And I've desaturated some color and printed it as BW. And I've scanned some BW for web use and printing. But so far I can't touch the quality I can get on a silver print. Ditto the enjoyment. Plus, BW printing is no more expensive than digital printing. When you add up the cost of ink and good ink jet paper, it's at least as expensive as the conventional darkroom. I can't see giving up BW any time soon.
