Digital BW, The Print

Hello Paul,

Thanks for jumping in with your always welcomed input. I do have on 
hand the MIS FSN-Epson driver inkset bulk inks. I did receive the 
cartridges from inkjet mall today. I think I'll put them in and see 
what the Epson driver can do with them. I still have some curves for 
the FSN inks, so I may try them. I hesitate to do this before getting 
the ICC profiles (currently on backorder). The whole set of FSN inks 
cost less than the two cartridges from Inkjetmall, and that adds to 
my hesitation. If you have any ideas on using the Piezotone inks with 
PS and applying curves, I'd appreciate any comments.

Your friend in photography,

Johnny Eades
