RE: [Digital BW] Latest variable-tone inkset

Daniel,

I think once the 1280 version is finished and working as well as it can, the
2100/2200 would be the next logical step.

The previous mix I published is not the one that can do this.  It's
basically a dual-toner setup, but the percentages have changed -- and will
change a little more.

I'm not sure MIS sells the clear base you'll need to mix where I'm at now.
I suspect MIS will be very interested in this one and produce it for us.
