Hi Tyler,

It was a fun meeting and there are probably 16 sets of
impressions.  The diversity of everyone's workflows, inks, 
photostyles, goals is very wide.

There was a lot of show and tell by many in the group.
Most of the group had from one or two prints all the way
to a very nice and complete portfolio -- done btw with MIS
Original Inks and completely self -done workflow using
photoshop quadtones.  There were prints from some
exchanges.

Naturally there was a some tech talk and show.  Martin had
images and test prints using the Pixel Picasso Septone inks 
and software system.  I got to show some images and test 
prints I made using QuadToneRIP with vm-sepia based inks.
Martin and I carpooled so I gave him a quicky machine demo.
There weren't any UltraTone ink prints, too bad, I'd like to
see some.

There was a great discussion about making and selling
inkjet prints from old masters (by those with the legal rights,
of course). 

I announced that I've got a photo show for the month of
July in Palo Alto.  They are all printed with my 7500, special
dilution of vm-sepia inks and quadtone rip software.
