Digital BW, The Print

Allen,

Glad you could make it and I hope that your very informative post 
will encourage some of the other vendors to contribute.

Now that I've got you here....

Would it be feasible to load the bulk inks into virgin cartridges for 
a 1270 or 1280 and print using the 1200 workflows or are the curves 
likely to be too far off for reasonable results?

Would Brightcube's Xtreme Gamut Gelatin Art paper, that uses the same 
gelatin as silver paper for a coating, be a likely candidate for your 
ink set?

Is the finished look of the prints on the Ilford paper more like an 
RC finish and, if so, is there a paper that will give a finish closer 
to an air dried silver fiber print?

Thanks,

Martin Wesley
