Digital BW, The Print

Morning Robert,

I hope there will be a Piezotone ink print in the next exchange. I do
want to see one.

Still, I wouldn't go back to a piezo driver, or cone's inks.  I'll wait
and see what the epson 2200 has to offer. I may be needing a color
printer soon, and I don't print nearly as many color pix, so maybe I
could live with the cost of the epson inks.  We'll have to see how much
they are at atlex.
