Digital BW, The Print

This is true. Richard Kerstel, who I had for a few courses at Maryland 
Institute of Art told me one time that he always makes several versions 
of his prints for exhibit. One for florescent lighting, one for indirect 
incandescent and one for direct incandescent and one for a "mixture." He 
makes the decision when he gets on site which work best. He also would 
carry some of his own lighting and use it if he could. With printers 
that's easier than with wet prints.

So what I hear is with MIS you have more control on the warmth using 
profiles with a fixed ink than you do with Piezo?
