Digital BW, The Print

Robert,
A print made with "black only" using the Epson driver yields a print 
with a tone that is what I will call "tan". You're right, very very 
warm and nothing like Piezotone Selenium. But print the same image 
with the RIP and it looks like Piezotone Selenium. I would be happy 
to send you (no charge, of course) a couple prints from the same 
image, one from the RIP and one from Pieziography using Selenium 
Piezotones and you can check it out yourself. Some folks seem to be 
skeptical of this RIP comparison to Pieziography/Selenium and I need 
a credible witness. As far as what's going on to accomplish this, 
well, I'm afraid I would be getting in over my head to make a 
conjecture -- I'll leave that up to people who understand these 
things better than I.
