Digital BW, The Print

Terry,

Thanks for the feedback. If you pursue the Profile RGB, keep us 
posted on your progress. I would think your Epson 1600 would do as 
well as any of the good flatbeds for this.

I would also like to see you post something on your experiences, set-
up and workflow with the Spectratones. I liked the color of the ink 
and was impressed by the samples Allen sent but I haven't heard 
anything from an end user.

Martin
