Re: [Digital BW] How much ink in tubes?

2002-03-20 by tomoc

Jerry-

I use VM with the curves and Epson driver and/or Lyson Small Gamut 
with Epson driver (for glossy) when I need toning. But for straight 
deep black BW prints, I use the FS with the Piezo driver because it 
is about 3x faster to print. Sounds lazy, but the real reason is 
probably that I don't want to waste such an expensive piece of 
software and I quit using the piezo inks long ago.
