Digital BW, The Print

The piezo driver has the smoothest midtones and highlights in the known
universe (ok slight exaggeration). Now it is available on its own (good
marks for ethics) use it with MIS FS for a really cheap solution. I've seen
samples of the new Piezotones and whilst I like them - they are not worth
their European price over FS for me.
