I've got the same info from a couple different people. Ranging from people in Australia to Europe. Are they still cutting colour paper?

Honestly, I am tired of the analog vs digital printing debate. I am a B&W negative shooter. I started as a darkroom printer, but I slowly migrated away from darkroom printing. Why? Well, I have more control (grayscale-wise and toning) with digital printing. I avoid the chemicals. Also, I have more time flexibility given that I have a day job. The main reason it took awhile to stop using wet printing altogether is that some prints just looked better with a nice glossy, fiber paper. Once the glass goes on, though, I'd rather a nice matte paper anyway. Both digital printing and good wet printing take a long time to learn to do well, but both can produce amazing results.

Of course, take this with a grain of salt since I am just finishing some digital negatives to make some cyanotypes......

Ah..so you are tired of the digital vs analog debate and then proceed to describe why you choose digital in a web site that is dedicated to analog photography...makes a lot of sense... :rolleyes:
