Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

Tough to compare from the on screen views. Comparing the Septone prints to
the scans on your site I would guess that the VM 4.3 can go colder than the
Septones. On the warm end things aren't so clear as the Septone looks more
red warm and the VM 4.3 more yellow warm. Really need to see the prints side
by side.

It will be interesting to see what ConeTech has to offer at PMA. I bet it
includes a variable tone and 7 ink solution though. Pretty sure their
solution and Sundance's will be more costly than MIS inks and your curves.
No surprise there!

The really nice thing to my view is that there will be multiple solutions to
appeal to a wide range of needs, tastes and budgets. Things are continuing
to get better for us end users. It should really be an interesting year as
these products become available and user reports come in.
