Digital BW, The Print

The new piezo software now comes with drivers for ALL supported printers. It
modifies the dither pattern and increases the resolution. It also comes with
profiles for a large number of papers - something vitally important IMO.
When my current stock of inks runs out I'm going to try MIS FIS - but only
to try and reduce costs. I wouldn't ever want not to have the piezo driver.
Plug n play! (almost)
