Digital BW, The Print

Brad,
You could start by reading the information you can find on the MIS site,
http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/quadtone.html and the
Piezography site, http://www.piezography.com/piezographyBW.html. They are
the main suppliers with two different BW setups. The 1290 and 1280 are
basically the same printer, the main difference being the voltage.

PS. With careful choice of equipment and technique you can achieve better
print quality with digital quadtone printing than in the darkroom. At least
that applies to myself. :)

I am a bit ignorant and new to the digital world.
I have a 1280 but it\ufffds called 1290 out here in Asia where I live.
Cannot seem to get the photos looking right.
You say that it is the printer of choice for B&W.  Is this correct?
Also, what ink set do you suggest and where can I buy it?
What papers should I buy?
What is Piezography setup?
Are the prints going to look as good as the traditional dark room print?
Any help or suggestion you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.......Brad Mol.
