Forgive me, folks, if this particular topic has been covered already. Actually, I thought, I'd find plenty of information via the search function, but either there is not very much on this specific topic or I am simply too dumb to find it.
My question is concerning printers and black & white images.
I'd like to print black & white images up to DIN A4 in excellent quality. In this case excellent quality means a quality that rises up to the demands of the ambitious amateur / semi-professional. I know, the description might be a bit vague and there might be a big difference between "ambitious amateur" and "semi-professional", but I'd like to print a bit more than the "causal holiday snapshot to give away to friends and relatives", if you get what I mean.
I'd like to be able to produce prints that somehow match ambitious black & white photographs.
OK, I should stop describing it now, it somehow starts sounding odd.
I've found some threads about this via the search function, but none that was making definite suggestions (if that is possible at all) what to buy or which printers to look for.
I know that it is always possible to take the photographs to professional printing services, but I'd really like to have control over the whole process (going out, composing the picture, taking the photograph, processing it in Lightroom and Photoshop and finally printing it) myself.
If you ask about the price range: when we are talking here, let's say that up to 1000 Euros (at the current exchange rates about 1550 USD) money is not the issue.
It would be great, if people could post their opinions here or - if the topic has already been extensively covered in another thread - at least point me to the correct link. I searched for "black & white print" and "black & white printer", but I found no thread, that made a definite statement, especially with regards to what there is on the market that can be bought in this distinct case.
Thanks!
Sebastian
