<cross post with piezo group> Hello all, Although I'm fairly new at this I am getting some wonderful results and am quite happy. After using MIS FS carts I switched to MIS FS-N for my CFS as I found the MIS FS a little too warm (I like warm in sepia, but it's either very warm or no warm for me, MIS FS was too subtly warm). I really like the MIS FS-N. But I also love traditional selenium prints that I have seen and am considering trying the PT Selenium set when my 4oz. bottles of MIS FS-N run dry. However, such a difference in PRICE! MIS FS-N 4 oz bottles go for about $52 while the PT Selenium 4 oz set goes for $144! Questions: How would one describe the comparison between MIS FS-N and the PT Seleniums from a tonal standpoint? How about overall results? What's the big difference? Are the PT Seleniums "worth" the huge difference in price? I realize this is very subjective but just what are the aspects that exist that convince those of you out there to pony up the extra $ for the PT vs. the much more affordable MIS FS inks? I'm getting excellent results so far and perhaps some will say "if you are happy stay with what you have", but then again I do not like the "ignorance is bliss" that is implied here. Never having seen PT Selenium results how can I know how much happier I could be? And all this said I have never actually seen or held another quadtone inkjet print in my hands, only my own. So this is happiness built from some serious limited knowledge and experience here. My prints can look really wonderful but still I wonder. I am a participant in the July print exchange so I will see some other results than my own soon but some comments about the "great aspects" of the PT inks, especially the selenium set, would be appreciated. And all this said, will the PT Selenium inks work fine with the ver. 5.x PiezophotograhpyBW drivers I currently have? Thanks. Best regards, Richard Sintchak
