Digital BW, The Print

Absolutely! I happen to do both digital printing (Colorspan 11 color ­ Quad
Blk) and true Carbon printing.  I can¹t believe that the group would want to
use the same term.  It may be of some interest to note in this regard that
traditional Carbon printing generally does not use Carbon Black as a
pigment.  Monochrome images are usually mixtures of ³permanent² watercolor
pigments in gelatin forming tones by varying thickness of this suspension
coated on watercolor paper.  See my site if interested in technical stuff
