I quit color printing in my darkroom for good a year ago. However, I shot a roll of TCN 400 with the M3 last weekend and dropped it off at a good lab to pe printed on silver paper. The prints were superb. Black blacks and full tonal range are a surprise to me in machine prints. I have tried for hours to equal them with PS7, a Nikon LS4000 scanner and an Epson 3200, printing on an Epson 1270 trying different modes and papers. Not even close... I'm glad I kept my Valoy. I have had good results with b&w sent to a lab for printing on the Lightjet 5000. Does anyone have a solution for good quality b&w on the 1270?
