Digital BW, The Print

All blotching is gone with the Piezotones...I'm getting fantastic prints
with Museo with dmax in the low 1.7's.  Better dmax than Eclipse Satine
Softwhite (around 1.65)...but Satine is nice because you have the texture
choice.  I'm using imageprint...but I believe the piezo driver also works
well with Museo and Piezotones.
