Digital BW, The Print

Thanks, Anthony!  I appreciate the thorough response.  Well, since 
I've shelled out all this bread, I'll keep trying. :-)  Once I can 
get some bills paid, I'm going to try the Piezotone Seleniums with a 
CIS.  I've only used the Warm Neutral cartridges for the 1280 (two 
sets) and they were defective, so I haven't achieved greatness yet, 
but I got close.  I hope this will eventually do it. :-)  Thanks 
again!
