Digital BW, The Print

Morning Nij,

I have used small gamut inks once. I got beautiful prints out of them,
but since you can't use Paul's curves or the Piezo driver, you will see
some dots in the light areas on an 1160 printer. I got beautiful tones
from them, but the metamerism was quite objectionable when I finally got
the exact cold (selenium) tone that I like so much. It was more than I
could put up with. 

Also the cartridges are terribly expensive, and the ink is not available
in bulk.

Jerry
