I suggest you contact Rudolph Tegners Museum at Dronningmolle ( tel. 49 
71 91 77). Ask if they still have the Zone 94 foto exhibition, I suspect 
it is still there.

If you visit the museum you will see some Piezography ( Cone) prints 
made by me on an 1160. And, by other photographers, toned piezo prints 
made on a 3000 with OEM ( Epson) ink and the Epson driver, traditional 
B&W silver/ toned and some alternative traditional printing. I think all 
this will give you a good idea of what you can expect from digital 
printing.

One of the interesting things about this exhibitation is that most of 
the prints were mounted on aluminum plates and have spent the winter in 
an unheated concrete museum with a winter temperature of, this year, 
about minus 9C, on a sunny day the temperature can rise to plus 30C. 
Lots of high and low humidity.
