Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

I am still finishing up my supply of original piezography inks 
(sundance).  I use the piezography plug-in.  Once these inks are 
finished, I will explore new options.  I will keep this printer 
though as it has worked almost flawlessly.  I am interested to see 
how the new piezography icc system works.  Ink wise, I am inclined to 
try the piezo tone inks first since I have always had good results 
from Cone's products.
