Digital BW, The Print

Hello Gary,

thanks for visiting here and for the kind words for this group. While you have 
already gotten pretty solid advice, I thought I'd give you some... homework to 
do <g>: Go to the files section of our group homepage and look around the 
resources there. Also, our Bookmarks have pretty much everything you need 
to jump-start your research. Our Database section, continuously updated by 
members, will give you an idea of the better papers to use.

Two suggestions - as short cuts: 
-Concorde Rag with PiezoBW inks on an Epson 7000 will get you very close 
to the very warm tone you seem to like.
-The MIS VT inks on the same printer may give you the option to fine tune the 
ink color. It's not something I have personally tried, but worth researching. 
Unlike Piezo inks, using MIS VT doesn't involve the expense of the 
custom-RIP software and PC required to run them. The inks are also cheaper. 
In return you have to fiddle with curves and workflows which may or may not 
be your cup of tea (piezo is practically a turnkey solution). Which one is for 
you, can only be your decision.

Welcome to the moving target gallery....

Antonis
