Re: second attempt at this question about digital printing...

Sounds as if the only real answer is "Are you happy
with what you are doing?" If so you are talking a few

you like to get out, then go to Adorama. Certainly the
stuff on your website is beautiful and could not be
improved with a printer. ( I peeked).
