Re: [Digital BW] Piezo software -- switching to MIS FS inks

2002-05-16 by Stephen Jennings

I get great results with the Piezo software and the MIS FS inks on my 1160.
Have you tried a slight curves adjustment in Photoshop?  I generally adjust
my curve from 30 to 20 on one end, and 70 to 80 on the other.  Your mileage
may vary.  When I want it snappier I use the Woolf workflow.  Haven't
noticed the dots.
