Digital BW, The Print

Hello Jerry,

>Peter, who are these "many" people who can't get high quality 
>results with MIS VM, Cone, and Mediastreet inks and the papers 
>of their choice? 

Me, for one, and Steve K.  We both struggled unsuccessfully with MIS
inks and various workflows/curves, etc.  His response, because he is a
superb inventor and dedicated tinkerer, was to make his own ink set. 
My response, because I'm not a tinkerer, was to retreat to BO
printing, as Peter says, "in desperation".  The fact that I saw others
at the point of desperation and ready to quit is why I wrote the
articles and began talking up BO printing. I agree with Peter - it
shouldn't have to be so difficult.

What I want to know is whether Peter will do something besides
complain about it.  I did something, in line with my limited
capabilities, and promoting BO printing has kept at least a few I know
of from giving up.  Since Peter is capable of writing printer drivers,
perhaps he will roll up his sleeves and write a replacement driver
that will make perfect continuous tone prints with the new MIS inks so
easy a chimp could do it.  C'mon Peter...stop flappin yer gums and get
to work.  DO something <GGG>.

Regards,
Clayton
