Digital BW, The Print

Yeah...I'm with you on this one.  I don't see what people like in the cool
tone prints either...however, the ability to do a neutral print is
desirable.  I just ordered the FS-neutral inks today for my other
1160...while I'm not sure I will like the tone of a FS-neutral print as well
as my PiezoBW prints...I like the idea that they stay were you print
them...and don't warm as they fade...oh...and the price was nice, too.
