Digital BW, The Print

Hi Jery,

Thanks for your test on the MIS color inks in a duotone mode. I guess 
that tears it for me. I am going to stay with the Epson OEM inks 
until there are inks that will do what I want. I like selenium-toned 
pictures and will wait for Cones selenium inks and see what they are 
like. Thanks again.
