Speaking as one who does custom B&W printing, I do not welcome more 
business. I  focus upon  customers who are successful in their B&W work
and 
appreciate the prints, and can pay.

The field of custom printing has become narrow as the digital nutz go
their 
way and a highly select group of qualified clients continue to work in 
conventional B&W film.

Fewer custom printers is a good thing. It simply reflects the field vs.
the 
digital mavens. It has come to the point that persons wanting quality B&W 
printing have to show us that their work is worth the $$ or bedamned .I 
don''t care how mucn money you have. There is no shortage of qualified 
photographers looking for good printing. Amateurs should look to Walmart
or 
something.

Life is very good here in the film world.
