Digital BW, The Print

Grant,

it's bewildering allright!...   

Darkroom experience helps in judging print quality but is not necessary. The 
best advice is to start with whatever costs less and is easiest to get and set up. 
Once you've made some prints you will be able to navigate the informational  
tangle a bit better.

Start by picking up a software package - or RGB workflow - you are 
comfortable with and then get a printer that it supports. To get better advice 
here you may want to say if you already have a printer and if you expect to be 
using it for color too. Also what platform you expect to work in, etc.

For the record, "Piezotone" is a brand name for the inks sold by Inkjetmall and 
doesn't imply a whole system (as Piezography did when it was introduced a 
few years back). At present, users pick and choose software, inks, papers and 
printers without relying on a single prepackaged solution.
