Digital BW, The Print

I have just uploaded an excel sheet with comparisons of the dmax possible 
with the new PiezoTones vs the old piezoBW inks. Since most beta testers 
found a significant increase in dmax, I'd say these aren't accidental. The tests 
were carried out on 1160 printers using the piezo plug in. One 1160 was 
loaded with the old inks via CIS while the other had the new inks in carts.

The file was uploaded twice, once as a stuffit archive and once zipped. It is in 
the files section inside the Ink-related folder (enter from the group home 
page).

I would second the opinion of others on this thread:  these inks are the way to 
go if you like their color.  They appear a bit less warm than the old piezos 
when they "mature", but as a result they are also more predictable and 
neutral.  I have put up a side by side pair of prints, not in a sunny window, but 
a very bright room that gets lots of diffused daylight from a south window and 
have watched the old piezos warm up and the 'Tones hold their  original 
"tones".  I'd say, so far so good! 

Inkjetmall is offering a 10% discount good until next Monday, so, if anyone is 
interested, this would be a good time to jump in.
