Digital BW, The Print

Alan,

Yeah but after all that heavy toner exposure I have difficulty typing and
spelling. Did I really type that subject line? Groan.

I was devastated during the period Oriental went off the market. There was
nothing else that felt right.

The Selenium PiezoTones come closer to scratching that itch than anything
else I have tried with inkjet printing.

the "color" I generally was trying to reach was as you describe.
