Digital BW, The Print

Jim,
fair enough.  I just talked to the guy who makes this stuff this 
morning, and he has got all this info, I just can't write it down 
quick enough.  Don't think of this guy as just another manufacturer - 
I didn't meet him in an office building, and he wore no suit.  He is a 
casual guy who is very smart, and is geared to doing a lot of R&D.  
His background is in manufacturing paint for military applications.  I 
want this info in a "digestable" form like everybody else - it's gonna 
take time.  I suspect most of the current users of this ink are on the 
epson 9000 list, I don't know who else is using this stuff here.  As I 
get data as it pertains to BW I will share it with you all.  Color 
printing oriented things I will post on the inkoptions list.  I'll let 
the more experienced users post on the epson 9000 list.  
As far as the quad black version of indelible inks go, as soon as I 
get the color ink going on the 9000, I hope to recieve the quads for 
the 1160.
Maybe we can backtrack a few days and start over on this subject.  How 
about this as an introduction:
Hey everyone, I am trying this new ink out, and I think it has 
potential, and I will post whatever I can find out about them.  Wait 
and see.
Lets just leave it at that for now.
If anyone has questions, catch me offlist.

thanks,
Tony Caltabiano
