[Digital BW] Re: printer recommendations

Nij,

That is very good news! I really think that my banding problems with 
Piezo are related to the particular 1200 I have and I want to move to 
something better. The main issue for me has been the color of the 
ink. So with a the selenium Piezo and a better printer I want to take 
another try at Piezo.
