Re: [Digital BW] MIS-FS and PiezoTone test; now FSN 'E' hex

2002-06-19 by Barry Kelsall

Antonis, thanks for that. One reason I am leary of curve adjustments in
general is the possible introduction of posterization (or solarization).

I have been considering springing for the piezo driver, but i would want to
use the FSN MIS ink with it. (I just can't bring myself to pay the 'toll'
for PiezoTones). As I understand it, piezo would treat my 1200 as if it was
just a quad printer, so I would be inclined to use one of my 1160s instead.
I would still be in a quandary to find a way to leverage the hex tones of
the 1200.
