[Digital BW] Re: another ink option

2001-09-10 by Tony Caltabiano

Terry,
I'm workin on on the longevity info - I want to see the reports
myself
, but as soon as I know - you guys will be first to hear about it.
I am currently trying to get my own website up, and I plan to have 
pricing info, and everything else available there too - I imagine the 
info will be on other websites too, but with mine, you get to see my 
art too ;)
As far as the profile issue goes, I am going to check into that.  
Perhaps it is possible if I distribute them free.  I certainly hope 
so.  
As far as the quads go, Gary Finnoe told me somethings he is working 
on, and lets just say - it is stuff I only dreamed of.  I grilled him 
pretty hard because he had so much to say.  He takes an 
entire different approach to hextones than the other guys out there.
He is already talking about things beyond hextones - I don't exactly 
know what i can and can't talk about - so leave that for later. 

best to all,
Tony
