Digital BW, The Print

Tim,

I am going to split this into two threads. Bernd has already picked 
up the paper side of your question.

As for the inks, give either the MIS or Generations or ?? cartridges 
a try. ConeTech has not yet released Piezo for the 1280 but may be 
coming soon. You are in a really good position to give the other 
inksets a try.

If you decide to give the Piezo a try when it comes out for the 1280 
you can load the software and continue to use whatever inks you have 
left in what ever cartridges you try now. There are people printing 
using the Piezo driver with other ink sets or combinations of ink 
sets. Hopefully one of them will jump in here with more infor on this.

Check out MIS's latest ink sets. They have just come up with some new 
stuff.

Paul Roark has apparently been working with them to bring some of his 
ideas to market.

I hope that Paul will join us and share some of the extensive work he 
has done. The fact that his work was missing from other lists was a 
significant factor in the decision to start up this group.

I visited your website and you have a set nice images. The multiple 
waterfall and the branch in the snow were my favorites. You have a 
seperate section for digital images but don't mention what you used 
to shoot them with.

Welcome!

Martin Wesley
