Digital BW, The Print

Anton,

I would like to participate. I will offer MIS FS-N inks on a 1280 
printer using the Epson driver (not Piezography), in which the ink 
positions are modified. Additionally, I am working on modifying the 
dark gray ink to give it an "eggplant" tone, similar to the PiezoTone 
Selenium inks. So I will contribute 2 images.

Which imgage did you choose? Where can I download it?

Best wishes.

Shilesh
