Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Jerry!

That is basically what I've heard from a very small number of users :) I
know the guys at the key distributor (????) Marrutt over here do a grand job
of selling the stuff - heard several comments about the quality of the
prints in their office - but presumably people are not allowed to take them
off the wall and look at them in the daylight! In fact, I think JM Humbert,
whom I met in Paris a few weeks back, had some Lyson - nice prints (shiny /
glossy!!) - but not much shadow detail either... compared to same file with
Piezo.

I was hoping we'd find some users who rant and rave about the good sides of
the product! And, users of other inks too!
