Thanks for the answers! Agree with Cotty that it could be usefull to have leading blur (due to first curtain sync) to suggest that the movement was backwards. Donot agree with Christian,also with second curtain sync, blur can be avoided by using highest speed and/or balancing flash and ambient

The new HP printers do a good job on BW; they have light grey inks to make them an 8-color printer. BW on them uses ONLY black/grey inks; no color cast. As far as I know, they can't print as large as you want, though. J. C. O'Connell wrote: What is the current simplest solution for doing HIGH
