Re: Which B&W system/too broad I know

Paul,

Was afraid I'd be slammed, but instead
you wrote a very useful and thought
provoking response.

I've read it three times already, and I am
encouraged. Thank you!

For my 7000, I see MIS Ultra Tones and EEM as 
a good answer. Do you like ESFA as well?

For my 1160, which has the original Piezo 
ink, it makes sense that I should simply try 
the PiezoTone Selenium... Are you suggesting 
a modified software approach over the 
standard Piezo driver?? Wasn't sure as I read 
your note, now for the 4th time...?

Maybe I'll let the 3000 sit idle a little 
longer, then use it as a Sepia machine.

Thank you for giving me the nudge in a 
direction I can feel good about.

Regards,
