Re: [Digital BW] The ultimate dumb question

Basically Piezography is printing with Piezo inks and Software and on
paper that comes with profiles in the software package.  Gets you going
right out of the box. About the easiest way to get into quality black
and white printing. Inks are very expensive. A lot of people that were
using piezo have switched to the MIS variable tone inkset and Paul
Roark's curves. The MIS archival inks are 1/5th the cost of piezo inks,
and you don't need piezo software.  You have a choice of warm to cold
tone prints, and quality is virtually indistinguishable from piezo prints.

The piezo inks are very warm on bright white papers. Some would say
Brown. (especially me :). If you like warm toned papers, you will love
piezo prints.
