Digital BW, The Print

Hello Robbie,

I just bought the PiezographyBW software for my Epson 1280 and bought 
the Full spectrum Neutral inks from MIS. Thinking I had the newest 
version of PiezographyBW I ordered the inkset for the Cone Driver and 
had to call them for a replacement for the Epson Driver. I could have 
kept the first order after finding out the version of PiezoBW was the 
older one with the Cone driver in it. However I have found out I will 
have the upgrade to the ICC profile driven software in a couple of 
weeks. In the meantime I have been experimenting with the MIS FSN 
inks. I was able to find a workflow on the MIS website by George 
Woolf and adapted it to my tastes. I am much more pleased with the 
output than with the MIS variable mix inkset. There was something 
about the curves I was using that caused some muddying of the tones 
around 70-80%. I too looked at the Piezotone inks and found them to 
pricey for my pocket. You can get the FSN inks for the Cone driver 
and still use the Piezo plugin.

Your friend in photography,

Johnny Eades
