Re: 7 Inks, 6 Inks, 4 Inks...?

Mitch:  You're being defensive and I haven't even flamed you yet 
<g>.  "Can't believe" is a figure of speech.  I've seen all the 
comments on IP and respect the judgment of all concerned (you 
included).  As I said: maybe I'm a purist, and maybe that's not 
necessarily a good thing.  It would be nice if I could eval. the IP 
software, but haven't found a way to do so (as they don't seem to 
offer a trial).  If there's a real one-stop-shop solution, that's 
obviously great.

Do you find that you're getting the same richness in your blacks that 
you would expect from a carbon, or, for that matter, from a silver 
gelatin print?

See, you can tell me something!
