Digital BW, The Print

I'm sure there's a post outlining someone's experience w/ actually 
using the inks and software; despite what I think is thorough 
looking, I can't find it.  would somebody mind pointing me in the 
right direction?  I've read clayton jone's print exchange analysis, 
but he indicates that the system has been improved and he's 
expecting a new sample print.  not sure how current this is.
  

on a separate issue, the discussions here are very helpful but often 
over my head.  instead of me asking, piecemeal, a slew of 
perennially newbie questions, are there reference materials---
website or book---the pros would recommend?  

thanks.
