Paul Roark is a quite modest guy. For those of you who do not know who he is, I will just say that he is one of the top 5 black & white digital printers. And he is a very accomplished photographer. Paul is retired from quite an illustrious unrelated career and spends his time developing digital b&w printing methodologies and ink sets (with no economic connection to those who manufacture them). He has the epitome of credibility.

Paul: Wow...could've knocked me over with a feather!
Better late than never: I got my fledgling start in quadtone and black-only b/w printing with your advice (with an additional shout out to Clayton Jones). Really glad to see you here.
To anyone else tuning in here: the great thing about b/w digital printing at the moment is that there are several methods–many of them initiated by Roark–which can ratchet down the frustration and cost factor considerably, while bringing stunning results. The frustrating thing is that the more you learn, the more methods you discover, the pickier you'll ultimately get. ;-)

Welcome aboard, Paul. Your website has been a real help to me--I've especially enjoyed messing around with black-only on the Epson 1400. Thanks for these excellent resources!
