Frank, come over to the Leica Users' Group and
sing that song there. You will be upbraided most
outrageously for being a piker! The special inks
alone cost mega-bucks, not to mention the special printer software.
I use an Epson Stylus Photo R200 printer and
Ilford paper when I print a digital image, but
that is as far as I'll go. My old HP was a lot
kinder on the cost of ink! (The ink for the
Epson printer dries out every three months or so,
and all six cartridges cost around $90 at Staples
or Office Max. I have a 1962 bottle of Rodinal
developer which still works just great, and I mix
C41 chemistry from scratch at a cost of peanuts.)
