.......or run screaming in digital frustration from all the NEW
variables.......

Yes, Gang, Digital Printing is great ( for you.)  But let's not proselytize
too much.  It is not easier than wet printing, it is different.  And just
like each of us, in the "old days" used different techniques for wet
printing, the new digital printing requires each of use to learn, and use
new techniques.  The difference, so some extent, is that there are a LOT of
new techniques, being updated daily.  It is not a static thing.  It is
trying to hit a moving target.  OS get updated, programs get updated,
printers get updated, scanners get updated, etc.  Each of these updates cost
hundreds of dollars.  It is not like trying out a box of new paper for $10.
You must invest big time for a result that may be pure hype.

Not, Digital Printing, especially in B+W,  is not better, it is different.
You either want to try it, or continue on like you have the past... 56
years.....

Me too Marc......

I think if you spent a day or two at a workshop learning digital
printing, you would never go back.
