Digital BW, The Print

I guess its frustrating to me, because although I've had a long learning
curve, I also know it is easy to get good prints from the VM MIS inkset.
 I must admit though, it did take a lot of testing of inks and papers to
get what I like. Anything this complex will require a learning curve
though... we shouldn't be surprised at it.  Problem is that so many of
us are SO picky, that other people don't even see what we're talking
about. Your prints aren't all that dotty. Just hold them about half a
foot away and there's no dots. But then again, there are a lot of people
who probably have a lot better eyesight than I do.
