Point well taken. I'm not trying to slam IJM.  I'm just pointing out that
some images printed with the original inks looked beautiful and reprinted
with the new inks are unusable.  Same driver, same printer, same PS
settings, same image, new inks.  I'm in the process of rescanning the images
and reworking.  I'm sure I will get good results eventually but the fact
remains that there is a marked difference in the two inksets.  You would
expect that.  It also make me wonder why the profiles are supposed to work
the same with the different inks.  That does not make sense to me.  Unless I
missed something from IJM (and I could have) they have not announced that
they are working on updated profiles for the new inks.

I still love the new PT WN look as well as the selenium toned sample I
received.  I'm still considering a 7000 to dedicate to Piezotones.  However,
I'm not alone in finding that the new inks/old profiles have some kinks to
be worked out...
