[Digital BW] Re: another ink option

2001-09-10 by TerryR

Tony,

Since you have the ability to question the manufacturer as a dealer 
maybe you could find out what kind of longevity testing has been done 
and how. Also to either post pricing info or better yet, to supply a 
link so that those interested can find out offlist,how to order,more 
info, etc...

As for the profiles, do you have a license that will allow you to 
create and distribute profiles? It is my understanding that we aren't 
allowed to do so under the current license terms - may be something 
to look into. Curves are another story though.

I don't think anyone on the list has taken a negative view of the 
inks, but have concerns and questions since little info is available 
and the inks carry a stiff price (in the 4 ounce versions), and up 
until yesterday we weren't even aware of a quad version (I was 
originally following the color version myself). Most of the list also 
use desktop printers and have valid questions about compatibility.

I think we all would be interested in your honest thoughts and 
evaluations of the inks from your artists viewpoint, just leave the 
salesman out of it <g>
