Digital BW, The Print

Glenn,

I was confused when I got into this process. I contacted 
Inkjetgoodies.com and they were very helpful with the options and what I 
needed for each.  I think there is a little learning curve that you need 
before you get started and one criticism I have with the MIS site is 
they don't help you up on the learning curve. They need a page called 
"Quadtones for Dummies" for the newcomers.
