Digital BW, The Print

Doug -

I seem to be first to respond, but I know a number of photographers 
in this group are doing exactly what you want to do - my wife is also 
producing her own prints for everything from Weddings and portraits 
(which pay the bills) to "fine art" prints (which don't 
unfortunately). She's using both PiezographyBW and MIS VM systems and 
will soon replace the PiezoBW system with FS and FS-N inksets. She 
often prints on PhotoRag 308 for her pro work. 

We've had a few clogs that took a few minutes to clean with the Piezo 
inks and our Piezo Color system was a disaster because the inks were 
not ready for prime time on an Epson 1280. These have now been 
replaced by MediaStreet's Generations inks and the problems are gone. 

In other words, my experience has been that we are already there with 
regard to the availability of the tools and materials required.

Best of luck,

Shaun Granleese
