Digital BW, The Print

Austin,
There are several unanswered questions regarding Injetmall products 
and the software. 
I have been following the "Combing" issue for a while, since I see 
it a lot in my files.
It is made a lot worse I agree by the fading factor of Inkjetmalls 
inks. 
They have now introduced yet more inks telling us that these fade 
less than the MIS FS inks. Surely that is a addmission that the old 
inks faded and color sifted. In wwhich case they should refund all 
the purchasers of they bad product, I am bitter mainly because I had 
no help from their tech support when I called to complain of the 
Greenies and fading.
The Piezography 3000 forum is like some Jon Cone fan club, posters 
are blinded by the facts, cleary none have read the results of the 
fade tests of their inks, or maybe they do not worry about a print 
lasting for more than a couple of weeks. Injetmall is way more 
expensive than MIS so why bother with them at all?
The software issue is another matter all together, I suspect that it 
is photoshop that is the root cause of the issue, have you tried 
posting on the Adobe forum to see what the adobe techs might say?
