Thanks, Eric - Great image to work with, btw...But I have to say that
even I was amazed. I think Eric's right - if the paper was the same, I
think a loupe would be required to tell them apart. Now, if hp will just
get it's act together and come out with an 11x17 or 13x19 version of
this printer..:-)

This is from the thread Richard started about whether or not to set up a
darkroom.  B.D. raved about his HP 7960.  So, I sent B.D. a silver print
made from a digital file and the digital file itself.  He made a few
prints on his 7960 and sent them back.

Wow.

I'm not sure I could tell them apart in a blind test.  The paper is
slightly different, but it's hard to tell any difference in the image
quality.  I'm impressed.

Thanks for taking the time to do this, B.D.  I'm convinced.
