Actually you can make your own. One example is the Epson 1160 (used) with four shades of grey instead of 3 colors + 1 black. You can get archival inks and use a CFS (Continuous Flow System) to lower the cost on the long run.> Although in my ownexperience, scanned color negatives printed on ink jet have replaced color wet prints. They're just better. Of course the same is not true of BW.Yeah, why is that? I'm really kind of mystified that _no_ inkjet printer manufacturer has come out with a dedicated B&W printer. You'd think they could take a 3- or 4-ink printer, replace the inks, write some new software, and voil�, there you'd have it. Considering all the printers on the market, you'd think it would be easy enough to do. It's not like nobody wants it. It's obviously a niche market, but it's not like it would cost a zillion dollars to go after it. --Mike
